Business outlook
Pros
It’s a job with benefits but…see below (the bonus potential is what made the compensation on par with expectations for performance)
Cons
Low pay makes it difficult to hire. KnitWell has made it unattainable to continue to earn up to $14,000 per year in bonus for making sales plan; store managers have effectively been given a pay demotion and it’s saved KnitWell millions of payroll dollars. KnitWell took away payroll hours and expects store operations and sales to thrive, and don’t dare go over allocated hours. The clothing quality and styles show a lack of knowledge of the Chico’s customer. KnitWell took away a paid holiday at store level, not for DSMs or Corporate. Communication from corporate is minimal; store level are mere peons.
