      Pros

      The gym and company store

      Cons

      Office politics. Finger pointing. Outdated strategies and mindset. Old moldy buildings. No work life balance. Unethical practices. Out of touch overpaid Executives... The list could go on and on. Every horror story of a typical toxic workplace trait is baked into Chico's company culture. Read old and new reviews this has been true about the company for a long time not just since COVID. The company hires many out of state employees locks them into a two year contract so they cannot leave once they see how much of a mess this place is. Its the only way they can survive as its reputation locally has been TARNISHED for a while, and those not in a contract with a leg to stand on leave as quickly as they figure out what is going on here. The lay offs are ever looming. No one's job is ever safe, and it is FELT in the atmosphere. People are constantly on edge to prove they should stay. The company has constant turn over at ALL levels and at the higher levels this makes it impossible to stick to a strategy. I've heard many say working here was the worst move for their career. If you value you your sanity or simply being respected or having career growth this is not the company for you. The company laid off hundreds of employees during the COVID 19 pandemic without providing them severance, unless you were high up enough then they gave you something. Leaving the lower level hard working employees high and dry in a time of economic down turn. This is something THEY CHOSE TO DO, Chico's only did this because they thought they could get away with it under the shield of the madness of COVID. The way the company's finances are situated they could have provided AT LEAST some severance to everyone, but they chose not to, just because they could. While the new CEO gets a raise, former employees are out of work after giving years to the company with nothing in return to fall back on. Any time this company has the opportunity to screw over its employees in favor of a couple extra $ it will.

      Chico's FAS Response

      Thank you for posting your comments. As a Company, we are experiencing one of the most difficult retail environments ever. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has challenged our business operations causing the Company to take actions we never anticipated in order to secure the long-term stability of Chico’s FAS. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the temporary closure of our stores. Although we immediately pivoted to provide an amazing and robust online experience for our customers, the loss of in-store sales has significantly impacted our business. To preserve and protect the long-term stability of the Company, we reorganized our business operations, reduced our workforce, and consolidated functions to be better positioned to recover once the current business downturn ends and in-store sales resume. We are deeply saddened that we had to take these actions and do not take these decisions lightly. Reductions to our workforce are always difficult. Our goal has been, and continues to be, not only to survive these trying times, but to thrive as the Company that always provides the Most Amazing Personal Service to everyone. We look forward to rebuilding the organization and wish all those affected the best as we all navigate the future. We would like the opportunity to discuss your review further. You can reach us by emailing GlassdoorFeedback@chicos.com. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can also utilize the Chico’s FAS Open Door and Ethics Hotline.

      Pros

      Fun at times with conversations amongst employees

      Cons

      The pettiness The bad mouthing of current employees or past employees, if the manager was talking about them I am sure she was talking about me Manager gave out her phone number to all employees to contact by text or calls, when I had to text her , her reply back was condescending and not to pleasant. I got an apology the next day. She knew she was wrong She got a bad review because she did not present herself in a positve way when helping a customer, she talked about the previous management I had an upcoming date that I needed off and she knew but she scheduled me for that day anyway I was told there was a review about me apologizing to much? That was a lie, I looked at all the reviews none about me but she had a negative one about her I only apologized to my customers if we did not have a product or we did not fit their expectations Yes I did apologize to some employees, I was in training and learning. Im sure it was the fellow coworkers that complained I do have problems with my right foot and at the moment my nice pair of nikes was providing more comfort to my feet, and was told I needed a drs note? But another employee who his younger was wearing very dirty tennis shoes, not a good look if they a noticably dirty Not good training, barely had any
