Pros

I enjoyed working at Vera Bradley, although it was a sales driven job it was pretty easy to do. The sales team and management were very friendly. The manager was flexible with the employees because most of them were students in college. As long as you made the effort to assist the customers when they came in the store and showed the product you were doing good at your job.

Cons

The only real stress was when the store didn't make goal several days and the monthly sales goals were not met. You could feel the tension.

Pros

Hybrid schedule Generous vacation time Flexibility with schedule

Cons

Private equity mindset of new leaders has sucked the life out of what used to be a great place to work. Talented and knowledgeable staff were all forced out or saw the writing on the wall and headed for greener pastures. While the Jackie regime was inept and refused to listen to subject matter experts, the Ian and Marty tandem may be even worse. They seem dead set on draining any bit of cost out of the company in the hopes of a private equity takeover. Their creative bookkeeping is highly questionable and borderline unethical, as is the treatment of legacy employees.
