David's Bridal Employer Reviews

This job was great because it allowed me to use my creative and business oriented sides. I was able to plan weddings for couples and learn about the selling aspect of the company as well. It was a great environment to work in and there was always something to do.

The Most Enjoyable part of this job I would have to say is the smiles the brides have one there face when they find there wedding gown's.

I loved my job, the hours were long, the work was sometimes very stressful, but I genuinely loved the people I worked with, my customers, and my store.

Working as a customer service representative was quite challenging. It was a fun challenge. From answering 5 phone lines to greeting customers and calling for a dress specialist I certainly kept on my feet. Multitasking was a must. Meeting the needs of our customer was the number one priority. As alterations manager, my coworker came to assist on the – more... floor when not busy in receiving. She was an amazing assistant. The stores assistant manager was very understandable and great in explaining step by step details. I enjoyed the ringing of the bell. When a bride found her perfect dress and was set on it, her dress specialist would hand her a bell to ring that signified she found her dress. – less

The pay is way too low for all you have to do. $7.50 / hr to make 25 calls per day and harass customers until they answer or call back, clean/organize stockrooms, steam gowns, run register, answer phone, all while trying to work with a customer ( I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things). The management is unorganized and unprofessional. Your "schedule" – more... is only a guide as to what you might work, you might leave after 30 mins or stay an extra 2 hours. Full time was not available at my location. After busting your behind all week selling and selling, you miss your minimum sale quota for commission by a few bucks and end up doing all of that work for VERY little pay. Not a place you can work and make enough to support a family. Other employees can "steal" your sale and management does nothing to correct it or prevent it. All in all, horrible place to work in my opinion. Looking back, I wish I had read these reviews before going to work there. – less

As the service supervisor, I am in charge of the opening procedures and closing procedures of the store. I manage all of our sales consultants and customer service representatives. One of the hardest parts of my job is when we have an upset customer. Our business is helping a bride with one of the biggest days of her life, and if there is an issue, – more... emotions can run high. On the other hand I love working with excited and happy brides. They are in our store to find the wedding dress of their dreams and we are part of their special day. – less

A typical day at work is coming in and getting to smell the delicious food being cooked to order in our in-house cafe, then talking to coworkers about events of the night before or the past weekend, and ended up with being able to sit at your desk and complete your work without the hassle of micro-managing. Everyone here is very friendly and willing – more... to help new comers, such as myself, to adapt to new situations and procedures. – less

A typical day at David's Bridal is all about customer service, finding our brides her perfect dream dress. I work in the flagship store, we are high volume and there is always traffic. What I've learned while working with David's is dedication and how to communicate with brides from different walks of life. The managers at my store are very helpful – more... and supportive with their staff as well as customers. My co-workers are like family, we've formed a bond due to the demands of the job and we lean on each other when in need for support. The hardest part of the job can be the brides who arrive to the store with a negative attitude. The most enjoyable part of the job is being apart of such a wonderful experience, a day that changes lives forever. – less

We would clock in, have a morning meeting, learning our goals and getting assigned to our fitting rooms,and making follow up calls until we had an appointment.We learned how to read our customers and build a relationship with them to help there dreams come true. At David's Bridal i had a pretty good team of managers but we didnt keep a steady group – more... of employees. the hardest part of the the job was helping a big bridal party and having to get them to agree on one thing,the most enjoyable part was being invited to a wedding after helping with a lot of differt parts of the wedding. – less

Left alone constantly with minimal training. Scheduled for 6 hours to be sent home after only being there for 2. Then when you are there for your shift and it is time to go home they make you stay over. Sometimes had to stay over 4 hours after shift ended. Not stable employment at all. Pay was not anything to live on. No breaks yet managers always had – more... time for them to eat lunch or have a smoke break. Always stuck working weekends which was a mad house. No appreciation when you have done something right. The only thing I enjoyed was playing dress up. – less

At David's Bridal I learned how to manage an upbeat attitude while working in a high stressed and fast paced environment. During my shifts I would work with multiple guests on their search to create the perfect wedding experience. The most difficult part of the job was maintaing the 90 minute time limit per guest, but after some practice it was easier – more... to manage. The most satisfactory part of the job was the moment when the guest has realized that she has found her gown and tears of joy flood their eyes. – less

It is definitely a great place to work. I love the co-workers that are on my team. I learned that it is not about what you want it is about what the customers needs and wants are. The hardest part of the job is just making sure every bride or customer leaves with a smile. The most enjoyable part of my job is to be apart of a customers event and to help – more... them create something so beautiful for them. – less

I enjoyed to assist a women to look their best on their wedding.

This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for. I have been in the customer service industry for 10 years and I have never experienced anything quite like this. This is a TELEMARKETING job. We are required to call and harass customers. You must make 25 calls a day and I have literally been told to call them everyday until they answer the phone – more... or call back. You don't get paid enough money and they also do not promote within the same store. I would advise someone to run not walk as far away from this job as possible. Management is clueless and has no idea what they are doing. Company standards are a joke because there are not any. – less

*On a typical work day, there were dresses lined up on the row to be worked on. There were all sorts of alterations to be performed on the dresses.
*I learned how to do different types of alterations that I didn't know before I started working there.
*Management was not where it should be.
*The ladies who worked in alterations were always performing – more... their task incorrectly causing others to have fix what they did wrong.
*The hardest part of the job was having to come in to work in the middle of the day and stay until the store closes at night.
*The most enjoyable part of the job was doing the fittings with the brides and bridesmaids and talking about the excitement of the wedding. – less

If you are looking for a part time job for fun, a few hours a week, for chump change to make for yourself for extra things in life - then this would be a fun place to work. If you are looking to make money to pay your bills and support your life FORGET ABOUT WORKING HERE. If you are okay with making 7.50/ hour, because you live at home, dont pay household – more... bills, are in college, and have people supporting you, and think you want to work your way up in retail management or the bridal industry, then I would also say this could be a good option. But again, for those of you who are looking for a JOB to make money, to support yourself - then please look elsewhere. This company is not worth busting your butt carrying heavy dresses and catering to numerous people at one time for 7.50 / hour. If you commision it will take you a few months before you build your business. And to build your business you must make X amount of phone calls/day, and have extensive administrative time - which is usually not possible in this position because there are CONSTANTLY customers that need attended to. It is a sales job. It is not glamourous. It sounds fun and pretty in the beginning - but the reality is you are working your hiney off, with no breaks. I repeat - this company does not take care of their employees. They do not enforce that you GO ON LUNCH. They will expect you to eat a little something in the back room, and run back out to take care of your customer. Their reasoning for you to take a break or lunch is only necessary when you are at the point of PASSING OUT. Word for word! It is a mad house. I do no recommend this job to anyone who is looking to pay their bills or Enjoy their work days. It is a high stress environment. Not a fun and glamourous place. – less

I've learned to wait on love. The management can be a little pushy me because they are so stuck on "getting the money." The most enjoyable part of the job is when the bride or someone in her wedding party cries with joy.

Great place to work if you like working with customers hands on.

On an average day I spent most of my time interfacing with the customers either in person or over the phone helping them to accomplish their goals of either purchasing, ordering, or following up on either of those.

I enjoyed serving the clients. I worked with local and international brides as well as their families/bridal party. It was an honor to assist in selecting the bridal attire, educate them concerning the various aspects of the wedding gown, color pallete, and accessories. I enjoyed this position greatly and even took a pay cut because I enjoyed it. I – more... made my first sale to an international bride while observing/training.

The hardest part of this position was being new and feeling like your team members did not wish to explain the formailites so that you could properly make a sale.

While I found the position to be rewarding I know that the work environment could have been greater. Ex. management and team members need to work more effectively as a team unit and communicate more professionaly toward each other.

The hardest part of this position was your hard work/sales could be taken from you at anytime. While there is a system in place to "assure" that once you've "sold" the bride its yours. I've come to know it as flawd. When I questioned it, it was overlooked. Sadly that and a few other issues caused me to seek employment elsewhere.

Other than that it could be nice and rewarding career. – less
