My time at Chico’s FAS has been incredibly valuable for my growth as a merchant. During my time, I have gained experience through managing a variety of product categories and managing dynamic cross functional teams. I began my journey with Chico’s FAS as a store Associate and have been able to grow to the merchant level in 5 years in an environment that emphasizes personal growth and best-in-class business practices.
Hadley, Merchant – WHBM
Our beautiful campus is one of my favorite parts of working for Chico’s FAS. I love taking walks from building to building, enjoying the Florida scenery as well as taking advantage of our great amenities. It is so convenient to walk over to the gym after work as well as meeting up with co-workers weekly at the campus coffee truck or Metro café.
