Pros

The only reason are the employee discounts. But they aren't great. Sometimes the regular "clearance" sales are better than what Chico's offers because everything is so expensive (and overpriced).

Cons

No benefits, NO recognition, only criticism of what you HAVEN'T done. The hourly rate is maybe $9.00/hour, which is pathetic. The commission structure is even worse. You only get decent commission if you have one sale over $500. But the worst thing about working for this company is they expect you to sell, sell, sell, while you put away new stock, steam clothes, clean the store, process locates (orders to ship out), send emails to customers, and now be ONLINE for the virtual website??? All for $9.50/hour. There is NO communication at my store, NO training, and absolutely NO recognition for anything good you've done, only criticism.

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
