Chico's FAS Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Built more than 10 internal tools that help engineers and business leaders see data insights. Wrote code in Spark, Python, Java, SQL, Hive, and many other types of programming languages to better help us understand key insights. With 13 years’ experience as a Architect, Lead Data Engineer, I am adept in architecture design, project management, and end-end implementation. Moreover, while my on-the-job experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set, including first-rate planning and project management abilities, I excel at: • Working with clients to analyze needs and use BigData/Cloud technologies to run the data engineering platform. • Designing architecture and implement end-end development • Preparing technical architecture proposals. • Managing multiple simultaneous customer projects."

"A poorly managed company, watch out if you are looking for long-term tenure, they will look for any opportunity to have you exit regardless of your performance."

"The company is in turmoil and I believe is preparing itself for sale as it is hemorrhaging money badly as are many in fashion retail. Since April, the CEO was let go as was over 20 SVPS, 20 VPs and 30 Director level personnel in addition to two mass layoffs."

"I've worked for Chico's for 15 years and really loved it. Made lots of bonus over the years. When the company was owned by the original owners that is when it was the best. The owners were not only good to its customers but to their employees as well. As time went on and new leaders and owners came in it became a doggy doggy world at Chico's. They want employees to see all of everyone's high sales to create jealous and ruthlessness among the associates. Well yes, all the associates fought tooth and nail to get more and better sales to be the best but it only causes resentment among the workers and fighting. Before this associates would take turns for sales and share sales. Now it became who can take as many customers as possible. The clothing and discount happens to be the best part of the job. More work than you know behind the scenes. Cleaning, vacuuming, folding, organizing the racks and store. Good luck to anyone that thinks this is a dream job!"

"A few things I would change: First of all, quit all of the sales promotions!!! Customers have learned that the meaner they are, the more they get. They are basically bargaining for their clothing. Secondly, let the call centers have Sundays and holidays off. Thirdly, stop the micromanaging! It's killing morale. At our call center, you are looked down on if you have a life outside Chico's, any health issues and can't work overtime every week. And lastly, please pay the bonuses that were promised."
