Big promises, little in return.

Pros

The people at the store level; the clientele. Hours of operation, store events; 15% can be given back to a non-profit of your choice.

Cons

Corporate is out of touch. They spend like crazy so the store level suffers. They don’t mention you will be doing all web orders and have little time to make plan or grow your business. This company is not stacked in the employee’s favor. What many said was once great, is now gone.

Pros

great clothes, flexible schedule. fun atmosphere.

Cons

hourly pay is low for the educated woman they hire and they want a certain person for their "look". Raises don't happen and the clothes allowance didn't increase even though the prices of the clothes increase.

Pros

It starts at the top with the co-founders, CEO. Exec. V.P. Retail stores and honestly all management, from the top down who maintain a culture built on kindness with no time for big egos. The company has grown and is strategically developing upon its recipe to position itself as a bigger leader in the marketplace. I have worked in several companies and can honestly say that after five years I truly enjoy my job, respect the people I work with and our customers are the best. Our stores are uniquely designed to their area and yet we are the same in promoting each other, voluntary diplomats if you will, at the store level. We know we are on the same team and love to cheer each other on. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit along with a desire to welcome customers as if into your own home then this is the brand, life and work style you want to promote and wear.

Cons

There are cons in every business especially when one is growing, and growing well that is a good thing. You must be able to accept that and the nature of the business-retail. If you have the right mindset and understand the needs of business, are a goal oriented individual who loves people, fun, and fashion that does not go out of style then this is the company for you.
