Pros

- I like a couple of the girls I work with -it can be a fun environment (sometimes) -regular customers can be super nice -starting pay is good ($9, for a stylist) but could definitely be raised more frequently... -seems to be easy(ish) to move up in the company

Cons

- There is a whole lot of unneeded pressure if you're at a store that actually follows the "Francesca's promise", which is the store I work at.. we're in the top 5 of all the Francesca's stores, so my BTL is very intense... so there is a whole bunch of pressure of "making the day, week, month" UPT & AT need to be at 3.0 and $50 atleast or we're doing something wrong! -since the store is so small, it can be very overwhelming when we're really busy. -discount is 30% which is decent, but 90% of the time the promos that are going on in the store are like the same.. so that's whatever. -too many stylists (sales associate) at my location so one week we get 20+ hours and then the next you're lucky to have 10 -pay starts @ $9 which is ehh, but a good starting pay for your first job. -you'll do an amazing job on multiple customers... but they focus on the ONE customer that wasn't greeted, or you didn't do the promise too... etc.

Pros

Flexibility, great community, growth opportunities, supportive executives

Cons

Nothing about the business. Liquidation and closure of the brand was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
