A growing company that still has some growing to do.

Pros

Corporate is very hands on with its boutiques.

Cons

Unstable amount of hours every week. Pushed employees to be very "in your face" with customers, which they called the "customer experience". Store manager played favorites with employees. All the new sales were difficult to keep up with, just when you got used to one it would get changed again (meant new signs to be put up).

Pros

A great deal of freedom with visuals and merchandising within the store. Fun, unique merchandise that is easy to be passionate about. Growing company with new stores/positions opening up frequently.

Cons

Not very flexible hours (hard to get time off with so few keyholders) Wages are okay, but not good enough to retain good employees b/c they can be paid more at other stores. There can be some catiness from of having such a small group of girls. With only 2-3 people working at a time, it can be hard to escape any tension and so it only grows. There's not always much to do. I find myself being bored far too often. For some people that's a plus, but I prefer to be challenged in a job and that rarely happens at francesca's. I want to love this company. It does many things right that other retailers struggle with and has a lot of potential, but after looking at this list I'm questioning why I'm even still here.
