Pros
Associates and well as all managers were on a monthly bonus program so everyone worked extremely well together to make the stores goals for the month because everyone benefitted once the store made its goal. Great feeling of pride with regards to customer service, outfitting a customer head to toe and making them feel good about themselves. Small staffs so everyone worked well together. No cliques as you find in larger stores. The District manager that hired me really made us feel that we were part of her family. Associates as well as managers were recognized for a job well done. We would go on road trips with our DM to other stores in our district to help with floor sets. It was always a fun time.
Cons
Very small stores and no backstock space. Had to constantly run off the floor and climb on ladders to get merchandise for customers. Base pay was not great but you had the potential to make it great based on your bonus each month. Were required to dress in Chico's current styles and even though you were given a 50% discount, the clothes are still expensive to continue to purchase.
