- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Ample room for growth Fun environment
Cons
None I can think of
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
There’s opportunity to work your way up into higher positions fast. You just have to do the work, be independent, trustworthy, motivated, and organized. The discount is great and some stores have an amazing community of workers that make it feel like a home. But emphasis on the “some”...
Cons
Stressful, consistently hiring new people because of high turnover rates due to demanding job with crappy pay. The expectations for our windows at the time were ridiculous. They made us come in extremely early (5:30a) or stay really late (2am) just to put them together. It wasn’t just mannequins, they made us put together elaborate displays with foams archways connected, fish line, flowers hanging down the wall, etc. This is something other companies would hire professionals to do, not retail employees. At some point, the store Manager quit and I was stuck doing a two persons job by myself with minimal help from my district manager or other managers. It took them about 3 months before they filled it with someone who was interested from the start and was a store manager somewhere else with a backup store manager ready to go. Lacking a store manager was already a struggle but the district manager also expected my store to be on top of everything and exceeding goals because our sales put us in the top 20 ann taylor stores in the company. Being short staffed didn’t help, but they refused to allow higher wages to keep my employees. Also steaming 40+ boxes worth of clothes every week without a dedicated team to do it is ridiculous.
