      I have been working at Chico's FAS part-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Exciting place to work. Love assisting with any task. Love the customer base. Really enjoy seeing and being a part of such a fun Company!

      Cons

      Technology needs to be improved. Cash registers go down and some of our busiest time. Fortunately our customers simply keep shopping and don't seem to be annoyed by this.

      Advice to Management

      Keep creating a great work environment for your employees and in turn the employees will continue to do a fabulous job for our customers. Team work makes the dream work!

      I worked at Chico's FAS full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Peers are friendly and are always willing to help you with something you don't understand.

      Lack of consistency, micromanagement, favoritism and lack of transparency.

      Advice to Management

      Treat everyone the same. Treat employees like the adults they are and not as children.

      I have been working at Chico's FAS part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      The only reason I like working for this company is my store manager and the location. The employee discount would be amazing if their clothes did not cost most of my weekly pay.

      Cons

      Avoids giving employees benefits, values the customer over the employee and the merchandise over the customer. The working hours and conditions are unacceptable, the company's demands for the dress code are unrealistic cosidering how much they get paid.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to your employees and stop enforcing useless "loss prevention" rules, realize that your employees are people and have families and lives outside of your crappy clothes.

      Pros

      Store managers work a 40 hour work week. Leadership listens and likes feedback. Generous associate discounts and good bonus program for management and associates.

      Cons

      Competitive between employees to earn a bonus. I would prefer a better pay rate and work together as a team to accomplish goals.

      Pros

      Great benefits, competitive salaries and good corporate initiatives.

      Cons

      Most disorganized company I’ve ever worked for, with zero accountability and very poor upper management. They will suck the life out of you, hold impossible standards while refusing to create growth opportunities within the company. There is absolutely no room for growth in the design department. The leaders in both the creative and merchandising worlds don’t know a thing about design, yet they all have an over inflated ego and the belief they can and will design clothes for a living. I hated working there and I am glad I am far away from that place. If they ever try to recruit you with the promise of living in the Florida paradise, run for the hills and never look back. The grass is not greener here.

      Pros

      Good benefits,if you love beaches it is good place to live

      Cons

      Top Management has no idea on what they are doing,they talk big on strategies,but have hard time implementing them and some of them don’t even understand where they want to get to.

      Highly political workplace where there is constant blame game and people survive who are good in doing that.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to your associates and don’t make decisions behind closed doors.

      Pros

      Discounts and the gym, A few good people.

      Cons

      Chicos used to be a great place to work, now it isn't. New management is now making you use your PTO each time you call out where it used to be a choice so that would leave hardly anytime left if you were planning a vacation.

      Advice to Management

      Time to change the leadership.
