Pros
- Working with happy, satisfied brides, their happy families, and also girls getting ready for prom and other school dances. Such an exciting time for all! - Forming long lasting friendships with other employees.
Cons
- Commission is stolen on a regular basis, and the endless time to reverse it is ridiculous. - Managers form favorites (god forbid you aren't the favorite, because you'll work 10x harder without recognition), abuse their positions, and aren't readily reliable for store issues, customer issues, among other things - Standing on your feet for your entire shift, not getting breaks (bridal Christmas is horrendous, but on the opposite side, slow season means cutting hours to the bare minimum) - Constantly pestering customers on CRM, you'll sometimes call the same person three times a week. - You'll stay late to clean the store, which also can mean you'll be there an hour or two or even three after closing - There is absolutely NO room for advancement, and you're very lucky if you get a raise at all
