      I have been working at dressbarn part-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      It’s a fun place where you can explore how your personality can inspire women to look and feel beautiful through sales. The management is very fun and you feel like you’re apart of a team and family when you work.

      Cons

      Sometimes it can be hard to keep your hours down when you’re part time with the company. There’s not much growth in the company either.

      Over worked and under payed

      Advice to Management

      I suggest you get your higher management that make all the decisions and don't work inside the stores to actually go into the stores and work a good week to see what it is that we actually have to deal with on a day to day basis with all the malfunctions you put us through.

      I have been working at dressbarn full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Nice stores and great health insurance. It used to be fun and satisfying to come to work.

      Cons

      Constant change in policies and district managers pushing and micromanaging every move. Nothing is ever good enough. Threatening managers to try and make the stores profitable again. Upper management grasping at straws to find a way to save the company. The stock prices have hit so low that it is scary! No more raises and nearly impossible to make bonuses.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to the staff that are running the stores! Really listen! We ask for products that will sell. The buyers are buying items that are not what the suburban woman wants. Our customers don't care what is on the New York runway. They want to be comfortable with some style at a good price!

      Pros

      Good benefits, gym on site with free workout classes, laid-back atmosphere, cafeteria onsite, beautiful office space, free shuttle service to NYC and local train station, 1PM summer Fridays.

      Cons

      Leadership is a hit or miss. Lots of last minute requests with fast turnarounds.

      Advice to Management

      Sometimes it seems like they execute things based on how they feel and what they want personally or how they envision the brand, rather than what data suggests and the customer wants.
