I also work at David's Bridal and I have to disagree with Bridal Diva. We do get paid minimum wage plus a percentage of what we sell which does not add up to much. This is a job that you really have to love in order to do it well. I never worry about the money because it's not what it's about. I love to make the bride feel special (as she should feel) and beautiful as she chooses the most important dress she will ever wear. I am sorry to those brides that encountered less than enthusiastic consultants-you have every right to take your business to someone who cares. However, one bit of info that you should know is that if you did not make an appointment you cannot blame the consultant for being too busy to help you properly. She is most likely trying to help a bride that did make an appointment plus any walk-ins at the same time;when this hapens, it can be very hectic and difficult to give each bride the attention she deserves. Also, about the problem with the three dresses: NEVER let them tell you that you can only try on three dresses! Really the rule is that you can't have more than three in the dressing room at one time, they should be able to keep your other picks on another rack and bring them to you as needed. They do it this way so that the dressing rooms don't become overcrowded which can result in damage to the dresses. It is true that new hires can be confused about rules and not very willing to bend some of the less-than-practical ones. If you do decide to shop at a David's bridal keep these things in mind and before becoming upset make sure you are talking to someone who knows what they are doing.
Good luck!
