| ASSISTANT MANAGER |
AS A FORMER EMPLOYEE OF CHICO'S THERE WERE SOME GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE
JOB AND SOME SITUATIONS THAT I FEEL WERE HANDELED VERY POORLY. ON FOUR
OR FIVE SEPERATE OCCASIONS FOR LENTHY PERIODS OF TIME THERE WAS NO STORE
MANAGER, LEAVING THE REST OF THE TEAM TO COVER ALL OF THE
RESPONSIBILITES WITH NO COMPENSATION. THIS TIME FRAMES RANGE FROM 6 TO
12 MONTHS. I WAS ALSO LEFT IN SITUATIONS WERE I WAS THE ONLY ASSOCIATE
AT THE STORE FOR A FULL DAYS SHIFT, NOT SAFE. WHEN I FIRST STARTED WITH
THIS COMPANY YOU WERE REQUIRED TO WEAR THEIR CLOTHES AND THIS WAS APART
OF YOUR EVALUATION AT THE END OF THE YEAR. THE HAVE SINCE CHANGED THIS
TO THEY ENCOURAGE YOU TO WEAR THEIR CLOTHING. I FEEL THIS COMPANY DOES
NOT HIRE OR PROMOTE FROM WITHIN. THEY HAVE HIRED THEIR LAST SEVERAL
MANAGERS FROM OUTSIDE THE COMPANY WHEN THERE WERE ASSISTANT MANAGERS
THAT WANTED THESE POSITIONS. THEY WERE EITHER NEVER CONTACTED OR
IGNORED. I KNOW OF SEVERAL ASSISTANTS THAT HAVE LEFT THE COMPANY
BECAUSE OF THIS. THEIR PAY IS ONE OF THE LOWEST IN THE RETAIL
INDUSTRY. THEY HAVE CUT THEIR BONUS PROGRAM BACK TO NOTHING WHILE THEIR
CEO'S ARE GETTIN $250,000.00 DOLLAR BONUSES. THEY USED TO BE ABOUT
THEIR
EMPLOYEES BUT SINCE THEY HAVE GROWN AT SUCH A RAPID PACE YOUR PRETTY
MUCH JUST A NUMBER TO THEM. WHEN I FIRST STARTED WITH THIS COMPANY THE
EMPLOYEE TURNOVER WAS VERY LOW IF ANY NOW ASSOCIATES ARE DROPPING LIKE
FLIES. I WILL SAY THAT I DID WORK FOR THIS COMPANY FOR MORE THAN 3
YEARS AND THEY JUST CAN'T SEEM TO KEEP THEIR GOOD ASSOCIATES, DSM'S AND
STORE MANAGERS. WITH THE LACK OF BEING IN THE LOOP DUE TO THE LACK OF
LEADERSHIP, MOST OF THE TIME YOU WERE PRETTY MUCH ON YOUR OWN. THE ONLY
PART OF THIS JOB THAT I REALLY MISS IS THE GREAT ASSOCIATES THAT I DID
WORK WITH AND MY MANY CLIENTS THAT I SEVICED FOR YEARS.
