Part-Time Associates are hourly with a lower pay rate than other cities in North Carolina (starting pay is $12.50 - $13 per hour, depending on previous retail experience). Hours can vary widely every two weeks, so there's no way to predict what your weekly or bi-monthly pay earnings will be. There are no benefits for Part-Time employees other than an employee discount. The promotional posters don't feature models that are reflective of the racial, ethnic and body size diversity of Chico's customer base.
