      Pros

      Higher ups are VERY concerned about employees and customer safety AS WELL AS profits and cost cutting measures.

      Cons

      Sometimes heads are not cognizant of actual work on the floor, therefore it's wise for SLs to be able to implement directives accordingly.

      I worked at dressbarn full-time

      Pros

      Hard working dedicated people who want the business to succeed.
      A combination of long term associates and new faces.
      Beautiful HQ facility.
      Passionate field organization.

      A changing retail environment leads to rapid strategy changes. Day to day can feel like a lack of clear direction and approach.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to the suggestions of the field, the internal team and the customer. The customer is saying that she is not loving the product changes, so keep focusing on who the real customer is, no who you would like her to be.
