Pros

Good benefits, talented people, energetic environment, reasonable amount of autonomy and freedom. Overall, an enjoyable place to work if you keep your head down and don't get caught up in the BS.

Cons

Entirely too top-heavy. Am surprised they don't have a VP of toilet paper and a Senior Director of lawn care. Management gives impression of caring, but watch your back. These people eat their young. And for a company who claims their target demographic is the older woman, their current roster of buyers are much younger than that age group and don't seem able or willing to relate to the core customer and what she wants. Have heard time and again that their formerly loyal customer is looking elsewhere because the company seems intent on forcing her into looks she doesn't want, and is ignoring what she's asking for. Hey Chico's -- ever heard the expression, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?"

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
