Pros
Good pay, especially for a college student. Good discount and opportunities to win "Vera Bucks", essentially vera money that you can use buy things.
Cons
At least at my store, there were racist employees. Often told me to not even bother with "those people" referring to southeast asians, hispanics, and blacks. Countless times told that they "hated those people." Manager told a black girl that she looked exactly like another black girl, ONLY BECAUSE THEY WERE BOTH BLACK. Employees have to wear pink, red, or french manicures. Cannot wear another colors because they are too "masculine." Cannot show your shoulders because that is immodest. They do an awful job at training you. Most of the time the hire from outside the company so it was very difficult for me as a team lead to learn everything all at once. Was blamed many times for not knowing how to do things that I was never trained on and didn't even know existed. I have been working in retail for years in managerial positions and was told to quit because I was being a "leader." Which is a complete lie. The manager told me I didn't fit the Vera Bradley aesthetic and that the way I dressed was inappropriate even though they never saw my bare arms or legs. Horrible company, avoid at all costs.
