David's Bridal Employer Reviews

Busy Bridal Boutique, it was a joy to work here. Always helping new brides find the perfect gown for their perfect day. I learned all the different styles and types of fabric used for wedding gowns. Management was awesome, always worked with the employees and made sure they had a relationship with the employees and the brides that walked in to the store. – more...  A typical day at work consists of filing paper work, answering phones, registering brides, stock, store support and customer service. – less

Most enjoyable part was getting to know each of my clients and seeing the smiles on their face once we found their pefect wedding gown.

Meeting with the brides, learning about the wedding plans, what sort of wedding it was to be, how many attendents. The hardest was keeping the bride's budget.

During my position at David's Bridal I have learned to be patient, thoughtful, and open-minded. Most brides do not know what they want or what's going to look good on their body. It is my job to bring their personal style into a beautiful over all wedding look while patiently listening and offering alternatives.

My management team and co-workers are – more...  amazing. Of course there are the few rough ones, but I am truly blessed to have such amazing co-workers as friends.

The best part of my job is the moment when you find the perfect dress for a woman who struggles with their self image and they just stand there in awe of themselves, tears usually follow. – less

always on the go at this job, fast paced customer service, registering clients as they arrive, floor sales associate, stocking, open and close positions.

This is a very emotional business having to balance many different point of views with the end result being very rewarding.

I loved the people i worked with employees and customers, I had some personal issues with management and like any workplace theres lots of favoritism. You get to meet a lot of different people and hear all kinds of stories, never a boring day at work but very stressful.

8+ hours on your feet, the store I worked at did very well in sales and was busy all the time. Unfortuately they are always understaffed, leaving you with out lunch breaks on a regular basis.

I'll start off by saying, I love working with brides. It is a pleasure to come in to work everyday and help excited women find the most important gown they will ever wear. It's always a great feeling to know you helped make such an important decision. As a consultant, you get to know the brides on a person level and essentially make new friends while – more...  keeping in touch with them, helping them stay on track for their big day. Although the title may be great, I would recommend searching at other locations if possible.

Don't get me wrong if you are young and just starting out, David's is a great place to learn the basics. They were pretty good about training and teaching me everything I knew before working me into my own appointments. Once you get started, it is easy to catigorize where you should start off with the dresses based on your knowledge of the gown the bride is looking for and her budget. It is a business and sometimes it is hard to know when to push for a sale and to know when it is too soon.

The first few months were great but once you get started there are sometimes unrealistic sales goals. You are written up if you don't make a certain amount per week. There is a Heart Chart with a sales goal for the pay period and management divides how much you should be selling for every day, hour, etc. On average I would say a goal of around $1,400 in sales during a Saturday would be neccessary to keep you from being written up. After working with other bridal salons and designers, I have seen David's is a little more pushy about sales as opposed to truly helping the bride find her dream gown.

When I first started, it took me a while to make the same sales as the rest of the consultants but it did happen. I was told that after six months, my numbers would have been taken into consideration and that I would be eligable for a full-time position. My numbers stayed as good as all the other consultants and after a year of being there, I was told that it was most likely not possible for me to move up. The reason given because there were already too many full-time position consultants while at the time there were only 4.

I do believe overall David's does want you to help the bride find her dream gown- sales are always put first, even if it meant selling a bride a gown she would later regret purchasing. This was often a problem as well seeing as all sales are final, like at any salon. Occassionally, the managers would refund and sell the bride a gown that was the same price or higher in price through another consultant, leaving your sales affected.

So if you are an aspiring bridal consultant, I would say David's is a great place to learn and grow. A lot of the information you learn from this employer, you will be able to carry on to future opertunities. I would not recommend David's as a long time employer for a number of reasons, including high stress, high traffic (taking up to 3 brides at a time) and sometimes having to make unrealisticly high sales goals. I hope this helps for some. – less

Its a fast pase work place that i enjoy. Everyday i learn something new its never the same.

Of course there are some things that could improve such as wages and a better system of commission for sales employees. But overall it is a very nice place to work. Managers take consideration to schedule requests and work schedules are usually posted 2 to 3 weeks in advance.

Wedding Consultants and Dress Specialists are energetic and are there to help you find the wedding gown of your dreams and dresses for all of the women in the bridal party from head to toe.

Meeting new people. Enjoy being apart of the bride's big day.

I love my job. I love working with Brides and finding out what they want on their special day and my job is to help them find the right look and the one that completes their special vision for that wonderful day. A typical day at my job entails answering the phone, making calls to Brides to ensure they have what they need for their wedding day, consulting – more...  with new brides and helping them find their gown for their wedding day, putting new shipment out for customers to buy, and cleaning at the end of your shift. I have learned how to give great customer service regardless of if someone purchases something from you or not, and how to build lasting relationships with these people. My co-workers are fun and easy to get along with! The hardest part of my job is hitting all my incentives to make my job worthwhile. The most enjoyable part is seeing a Bride's face light up when she's found the dress of her dreams! – less

This is a good place to work but it is only part-time. There is very little room for advancement.

Pleasant work and fast paced work environment. Daily sale incentives, bonuses and contests which make meeting sales goals fun.

This is a fun job. You get to build a personal relationship with brides while you help them find their wedding gown, bridesmaid dresses, etc. They are flexible with your schedule.

I don't mind working hard but the workload there is ridiculous for the amount they pay you. you take on managements workload as well and gt blamed for what does not get done. The customers treat you like a used car salesman. you get no respect, no breaks and very low pay. I was a top seller for a year and a half and was promised full time (where you – more...  are supposed to get higher commission) they never kept their promise and I was ALWAYS called on my days off to come in and work for someone that called out regardless of how many days I had already worked. The company does not appreciate their employees and are only concerned with upselling brides on items they don't need and will have you sell your soul to accomplish that. – less

It was an outgoing enviorment, everyone was friendly & always smiling. We worked in a fast but steady pace and everyone loved eachother.

David's Bridal has been fun to work for. We usually have very happy people in our store which makes the days that much more enthusiastic. Saturday's are swamped with people, which can be stressful but rewarding at the same time.
