Chico's FAS Sales Associate Reviews

Cons

Management was pretty hostile during my time there (rude comments, difficulty with me taking a single sick day during my tenure, scheduling me when I had a conflict, and getting frustrated when I asked questions as a new hire.) Manager was pretty condescending and other employees could also be rude. I think the behavior trickled down the pipeline. I got out and realized that behavior was not normal practice. Also, when you work commission, your coworkers see you as competition and could steal your sale - which happened to me a few times. I ended up leaving after the manager raised her voice at me in front of employees and customers on the floor. It just became too unprofessional. Employees were usually 50+, so I did feel a little out of place as a younger employee. Some coworkers were very sweet and made it bearable, although, not for long. Some customers were really needy and definitely had an older demographic. They may talk down to you, yell, throw their clothes on the floor in the fitting room, and really need a lot of help. You are trained to work for commission but feel like you're trained to harass and bother customers. Some people just want to shop, not be followed around the store. I felt pressured to bother people, even when they said no, due to management.
