Pros

Chico's promotes constant coaching in order for people to learn and grow in the company. They want to promote from within. This is a win-win for everyone. There is opportunity for promotion and the company cuts down on turnover, which is costly.

Cons

The salaries are low and bonuses are high. It's great when you are making great sales, but you are always competing against those LY numbers. Sometimes you are planned so high a bonus is unachievable.. even though you are still producing good numbers, the money is not coming in. As a single woman, I found the peaks and valleys of the bonus structure to difficult to live with.

Pros

Fun at times with conversations amongst employees

Cons

The pettiness The bad mouthing of current employees or past employees, if the manager was talking about them I am sure she was talking about me Manager gave out her phone number to all employees to contact by text or calls, when I had to text her , her reply back was condescending and not to pleasant. I got an apology the next day. She knew she was wrong She got a bad review because she did not present herself in a positve way when helping a customer, she talked about the previous management I had an upcoming date that I needed off and she knew but she scheduled me for that day anyway I was told there was a review about me apologizing to much? That was a lie, I looked at all the reviews none about me but she had a negative one about her I only apologized to my customers if we did not have a product or we did not fit their expectations Yes I did apologize to some employees, I was in training and learning. Im sure it was the fellow coworkers that complained I do have problems with my right foot and at the moment my nice pair of nikes was providing more comfort to my feet, and was told I needed a drs note? But another employee who his younger was wearing very dirty tennis shoes, not a good look if they a noticably dirty Not good training, barely had any
