Very good first retail experience - Sales Associate Vera Bradley Employee Review

-Good employee discount of excellent product -Competitions set on all levels of the field to strive in -Extremely great comradery amongst each other with respect for one another (you are not just a number or a location - you are a person) with healthy communications between the fields -We serve a vast and wonderful clientele to market/sell too- -Although the rebrand was not the success some thought it would be, VB is getting back to where she once was and that is amazing! -Diversity holiday time -There is a general concern for both success, respect and diversity

-Setbacks on for tools/communication engines that lead to some confusion task management -Store closers vs proactive store relocations -Logistical inventory issues -Shopper surveys closed down (previous management choice) -There is little opportunity for internal promotions for career growth

Good bonus structure, discount, new ceo is great

Loved this job until new upper management swap! DMs micromanaging constantly & are constantly adding new ops which make it hard to focus on sales!
