Not a good place to work
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Eddystone, PA –
Before graduating from high school, I was paid just enough to go to prom but I had no room for advanced or to even be in cashier position. Some days I would just stand there for 8 hours and greet maybe a few customers a day. The manager never had nothing else for me to do. And when it was time for closing I had to stay until it closed missing the bus – more...  and waiting an hour and half for the next one. – less

productive and fun
Cashier (Former Employee), brockton –
Pros: discount
Cons: not enough hours
I love and miss working at fashion bug. My duties included operating the cash register, cleaning up the fitting rooms and putting new stock out to sell to customers. My favorite part of working at Fashion Bug was putting new clothes out onto the racks. i also loved the 40% off discount.

it was helpful with my mother skills, as well as my patience.
Cashier (Former Employee), Oak Lawn, IL –
Pros: getting to see the different styles of clothing, it helped me become a little more feminine, taught me how to organize a little better
Cons: sometimes the inventory got to be too much for me, breaks were too short
it was ok working there, depending on who i worked with was and if we could get along with one another, and working with each other as well, the customers kept me in a happy mood.

nice work environment
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Carlisle, PA –
Pros: steady hours
Cons: the one in carlisle closed
a typical day at work would be organizing merchandise, perfecting the clothing racks, asking customers if they would like to apply for a credit card, organizing sales, shoes, sunglasses, jewelry..
management was great, and am still friends with my old co-workers.
there really isn't anything hard about the job.
its a nice calm work environment

Productive place to work
Store Manager (Former Employee), Danbury, CT –
I worked for Fashion Bug for 16 years.I started at the very bottom and worked my way up the ladder. The most enjoyable part of the job was dealing with the customers and helping them create outfits, suggesting my ideas, them listening to what I had to say. Being treated like a friend. The hardest part of the job was adjusting the payroll to fit store – more...  needs and having to downsize my staff. But, even with those challenges we still created and built store spirit. – less

Productive place to work, great environment
Sales Associate/Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Shelbyville, IN –
Pros: working with people, great hours
Cons: store closed, no health insurance
A typical dy at work was to provide customer service. Operating cash drawer and telephone lines. Putting away stock and handling inventory. I learned great customer service skills. Management was great! Hardest part of the job dealing with an unhappy customer, although I could handle it well. The most enjoyable part of the job was making the customers – more...  happy. – less

Just like any other retail job
Sales Associate (Former Employee), East Haven, CT –
Pros: employee discounts
Cons: short breaks and benefits( insurance)
A typical day at Fashion Bug was productive. I always keeps myself busy. I learned how to steam and fold clothes. Management was nice. My co-workers where nice. Hardest part of the job was figuring out where clothes went(what section) but after a couple of month you get the hang of it. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people.

Ready to transition from Retail to something more stable.
Part Time Sales Leader (Current Employee), Columbus, OH –
Pros: distance
Cons: pay, benefits
My current job has had it's highs and lows with me. I like working with womens clothes. However, the hours and pay aren't really working for me anymore. It's not really somewhere I feel safe or stable anymore and that is a huge thing for me. I love my co-workers and my fellow managers, but work isn't about friends, it's about making money. The hardest – more...  part of my job is the LP factors that we have to deal with, and the unsure feeling of where the company will be in a year or five years. I do like the part time hours, but standing on my feet the whole time can be rough. I like being able to take vacation time or request a day off for a concert, but vacation time kills me with no benefits or paid days off. – less

Very productive and worked well with others
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Lemon Grove, CA –
Pros: very busy and the daywould go by fast
Cons: not enough hours
I was a sales associate and my job was to stay on register get as many sales as possible and convince people to apply for our store credit card, I also have my skilled customer service and went through the store to help guest with their items and try to get them to look at our sales and accessories and at the same time keep track of our fitting rooms – more...  to make sure everyone is being helped by myself or with another associate. I communicate well with the sale leader’s, associates, and our store manager as well. Customers are well helped in the store and we would have our fashion shows to acknowledge people about fashion bug and welcome them in. – less

A fun enviornment.
Part Time Sales Lead (Current Employee), Cleveland, TN –
Pros: the discount
Cons: no insurence
I believe it is a fun enviornment to work at. I Dont think that the manager has a grasp on accountability. She wants us to do something and she doesnt do it either. I have learned to deal with many different customers and their needs. My co-workers in general are really great! But when it comes down to the job, somethings arent being done right the – more...  first time, and most of it has to do with the store manager. I love my customers! they keep the job interesting! And the discount isnt too shabby either! – less

Nice place to work most of the time.
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Linden, NJ –
Pros: clothing discounts
Cons: breaks too short
My day started out a little on the slow side as customers would not enter until around 11 am. But when the ball got rolling it was pretty busy. But I like busy. As part of the management team I was always fair with the associates and never asked them to do anything that I would not do myself. The hardest part of the job was checking in all those many – more...  boxes of apparel. The most enjoyable part was the interaction with the customers for me personally. I really liked to help the men when they had questions on finding something for their wives or girlfriends. – less

It was just a place to work when you really need money
Customer Service (Former Employee), Bear, DE –
Fashion bug has a great selection of clothing. They do very well with trying to get their brand out tot he customers. Fashion Bug was only a minimum paying job with no benefits except to the two managers in the store. I didn't enjoy my job and it wasn't a place that I looked forward to going to.
