Pros

The discount is pretty good, especially when they'd do the random 50% off for all employees, my coworkers for the most part were great and we got along well, scheduling was pretty flexible.

Cons

Corporate had unrealistic expectations for our sales and our store. Our clientele is very conservative and "modest" so many of the style weren't popular in our area and the new sales approach they were trying out didn't seem to work for our demographic. The rules and changes they made ultimately made me and many other girls quit.

Pros

Coworkers were very kind and sweet. Fun environment to work in. multitasking is rewarded at the Francesca's environment.

Cons

High school, cliquey mentality, immature and unethical (borderline racist) assistant manager (she made a lot of derogatory statements towards my ethnicity and race) store manager who would not help me with the said matter, prejudice against minorities and especially towards asian workers/ customers.

Pros

Fifty percent off regular price merchandise, wrote my own schedule as a store manager, loved the customers and making their experience.

Cons

Headquarters doesn't reward the store managers or associates as often as they reward their own office, who work mon-fri, and don't have to sell anything. No bonus even if you miss your month even by a dollar. Constantly changing their merchandising direction without offering payroll to catch up so you have to give experience to clients and then redirect your entire store. If you turn an old store into a million dollar baby for the first time ever since it's open in its 8th year you will receive a chocolate bar for you and your team that probably quit before the chocolate arrives seeing as how they would pay minimum wage to all associates in store.
