Vogue-Flowers

There are many sides to the florist industry. It requires a lot of work. The owners are always there for you if needed. I managed their Chester store for 6 years. Sales are high. Volume is high. I had extra help at holidays. I loved working for this company. They gave me full control as long as I followed company policies. You have to be dedicated and hard working, pleasant and customer service oriented which I have no problem with. The Chester store was the most profitable store of the 5 side stores they have. I would return to Vogue if I were to move back to the Richmond area.

No day was ever the same. It was fast paced and chaotic at times.
I learned about work ethic and dedication. I learned to work hard and always strive for more.
Management was great. They were always willing to help out and always willing to teach new things and help us to advance.
We had a pretty high turnover so there was always new coworkers to learn to work with.
The hardest part of the job was finding employees that wanted to work, and were open to learning new things and advancing.
The best part of my job was always meeting new people and providing customer service to the public.

A declining small business in an incredibly competitive market.  Owners are very hands off in the work place and below them there’s no clear management structure leading to shark tank like power struggle. Overall pretty easy going work day aside from the smack talking towards coworkers, customers, and owners alike done by almost every worker there causing a pretty toxic work environment. I personally thought it would be a simple flower shop job but it’s an incredibly complex survival game for a basic wage.

If you take things personally don’t work here. People talk smack, there’s no training, old people saying “young people don’t want to work” but they aren’t willing to train, or positively influence new employees so turn over is nuts. I’m just staying because it’s a good wage for easy work if you can handle the bad attitudes and fly under the radar. I was hired and told I would learn flowers for a couple months then I’d be moved into a more fitting position. I was never promoted or given a chance to demonstrate my talents. They will not grow or nurturer you as a person but you will have a paycheck and some interesting stories. 

The ownership of the company is blind to all the issues that are going on with the employees or the different divisions of the company.  There is no supervision, very limited benifits, no chance for salary increases (what you are hired at is what you get).  They do not foster a family or team work enviroment, its a stab or be stabbed enviroment. They do not value employee inputs or their hard work.  The owners dont pay employees at current salary standards for jobs assigned.

Vogue Flowers helped me in a pinch. I needed a job, and they hired me. It is a good place to work, but it is hard to know what to expect on any given day. The management does not corroborate with one another, so it is hard to understand what is expected of the employees. I don't hate it there, though. You just have to have thick skin

This is where I gained my love for customer service! I was encouraged and advanced to a store management position in my first 6 months of employment. I was taught floral design and how to train other employees in design and store function.

Honestly I have nothing good to say about this place. The management was very rude and everyone talks smack about each other. The owner will definitely yell at you when you don’t do anything wrong constantly. Worst small business ever who does not care about their employees. Their turnover rate is also extremely high (I wonder why).

Poor management, rude owners who play favorites, yell, and do not care about their employees well-being. Inconsistent schedules. No paid time off off. Long hours with mandatory overtime during local events and major holidays. It's fun to work with flowers but it's just not worth the stress.

Toxic place to work. Delivery vehicles are old and unreliable. Management does not provide direction or support. Most of the coworkers are good people. I looked forward and enjoyed working with most of them.
