This company DOES NOT care about you.

I get to wear all black to work and my store manager is amazing. You get 40% off full price and 10% off clearance, not that great.
Cons
You do not get rewarded for trying harder than someone else, in fact people who work less hours get more of a bonus ($1.75 for 36 hrs vs $72 for 12) which screws closing and opening managers big time since there is no traffic during those hours. Their "incentives and contests" only get you "rewards" like getting to buy something from them for less money, yay! Upper management keeps enforcing rules that are the same for every boutique no matter what volume they are. There is absolutely no regard for the employees' well-being. My store has a piece of equipment that is dangerous and it is only a matter of time until someone hurts themselves. When we submitted a request to replace it, they said it's an item that you get one of. If you work here you will feel like you don't matter to anyone but your own team, which will beat you down, get you miserable and force you to get a better paying job no matter how much you love the profession.

We had a great team of people who worked at my store. And most of the customers were very nice. The discount is good and the seasonal larger discounts are great except narrowly available
Cons
The pay is not great. In Florida, the manager was the only person who received a bonus based on mystery criteria. Keeping good workers could be difficult and the store was often understaffed.
