Great job!
June 6, 2023

I was in a hurry so I asked Martha to help me pick out an outfit. I told her what I like and she went off my vision and made it happen with accessories included. Great customer service! Thank you Martha I will most definitely be coming back

Cato fashion has really fallen off of the deep end, the store clothing is very limited a small collection and very old fashioned clothing that look like something you'd find at a good will hammy down store, but back in the 1990's and early 2000's Cato was really booming with all of the latest fashion and very unique clothes it use to be one of the best & popular women clothing store to shop at for all of the latest stylish fashion, but now the stores has ran there course and should just go ahead and shut down permanently...

Cato corporation is a horrible company to work for. They do not care about their employees and the salary sucks. Their clothes are satisfactory but some things are over priced, my main reason that I would not patronize this company is because they do not treat their employees good at all a perfect example of overworked and underpaid!

Went to the Thibodeaux location in louisiana on 7/23/23 and wanted to try on an outfit was told that the dressing rooms had been sprayed and mopped so they could not comply There was still a 40 minute window before the store closed. In the meantime lost a great sale because of lack of great customer service. The way they conduct themselves at this location is making it a sure thing this location will be closing in the near future

I'm extremely disappointed in Marissa at Catos, South Main, Nicholasville, who refused to give my mother, who has feet and leg impairments and I, a requested handicap dressing room so I could assist her with trying on clothes. We have never been refused this accommodation anywhere to include Catos and even by this particular sales clerk before. So, for her to refuse this time, was completely unreasonable and honestly, confusing. She was rude and handled herself unprofessionally. What bothered me most was her lack of empathy and compassion for someone who has obvious physical impairments and struggles with mobility. In my disbelief of this blatant refusal to accommodate and lack of basic customer service skills, I dropped the clothes right where we were standing and told her we no longer wanted them and we will never spend our hard earned money in this establishment, let alone Catos again. I hope after reading this, you will do the same.

Cato customer service
December 2, 2022

I love Cato's clothes and other merchandise! But their customer service when and if you have to call them leaves a lot to be desired! Their personnel are snooty and uncaring of your issues. I had a credit card with them for many years but got so upset with them around 5 years ago that I canceled it; although I still do buy from them very often. I have recently had issues using gift cards when I was doing my online orders; their system just wouldn't accept my cards! Had to call on the phone to use them and one rep that I questioned about the non-working CCs said "I have no idea why they don't work", no offer to check into it or anything! They act like they do you a favor by letting you buy their clothes! And many other instances of their snottiness recently too. I love the clothes but it's not worth putting up with these workers! They are gonna FA & FO about losing longtime customers!

I have spent most of the day trying to place an order with Catos from early morning til around 5 in the afternoon. Finally called them_ explained that I've had the SAME debit card number for 28 years_ have never been declined or never not been able to use it before until now. Shouldn't be any problem whatsoever so after explaining this to customer service rep she then says I needed to contact my bank! I said for what, it's not the banks problem at all it's y'all's. It's just not worth arguing with unqualified employees. I just hung up, deleted getting any more emails from them & will be telling my family members & friends so they can delete also. Be careful!

Nice clothes for work
February 1, 2023

When you order online it can be a hit or miss. I have ordered clothes that has been good quality and some that has been very cheap. Read the reviews before purchasing on each item.

Disappointed
April 9, 2023

I have always loved how friendly the staff in Cato's LEWISBURG WV is. Until yesterday. I have always loved how they speak when you enter the store. Yesterday I was sad as one spoke or asked if you needed help. Until I checked out. Please don't let this store lose its friendly service.

Discrimination
May 6, 2023

Good evening it was very disheartening for myself today I stopped by a Cato's in Columbia South Carolina to inquire about a job opportunity. I spoke to the manager and asked were they hiring she inform it that they were not I asked a few more questions and proceeded to leave the store. As leaving the store I happen to look up in the window and see and now hiring side after being told that they weren't hiring it made me feel very disrespected being as though I am somebody that has a disability and has use of a wheelchair I really felt discriminated against and felt that I was treated unfairly. I really believe that I deserve equal opportunity but unfortunately they will never get to know how great I really am.

It's a big ordeal to get a refund from shopping online I spent 30 minutes on a call and still called again and the purchase was about $34 I got about $19 back after a couple of weeks and two phone calls, the regular stores usually have cute clothes and so I do like to buy Cato's clothes usually finding a great fit on cute clothes. But online returns is terrible, I don't think I'll shop online Catos again, I've tried twice to do returns and both times have been very unpleasant

Amazing clothes!
June 23, 2022

I found this store when I lived in TN and fell in love! Their clothes are very reasonably priced, adorable, great quality and usually pretty unique. Having moved to NV, I now order online. I get compliments on my clothes all the time. Good job Cato, keep up the great work!

Poor customer service
December 15, 2021

My sister and I went to store #1113. We were the only customers and there was only one employee there. The employee did not greet us nor look our way. After being there for a few minutes she didn't ask if we needed any assistance. After my sister made her choice, she went to the counter and had to stand there for a few minutes while the employee (with her back turned) talked on the phone with a co-worker about their schedule. We love the store but this experience has put a bad taste in our mouths.

Don't return anything
March 27, 2020

I bought a skirt from Cato's and I didn't like how it look so I returned it and they charged me $14.40 just for trying on a skirt so if you like throwing away your money this is the place you need to shop. I wouldn't buy my dog an outfit from them! Totally dishonest company!

Design Fails
January 29, 2022

Catos used to be my "go to" place for cute fashions, but lately most of the new lines are poor quality, gaudy colored, or just plain weird designs! Big women do not want ruffles across their busts or around their waists. WalMart is doing something right, because they are providing better quality clothes at a MUCH better price! I can understand why most of the stores are basically empty now... whoever is doing the designing or buying for the chain should be fired! Bring at least some classic wear back!

Bad customer service
October 13, 2021

I was the only customer and was there for about 10 minutes. 2 ladies working. Never greeted me or acknowledged my presence. Not one word or even eye contact. They never spoke to each other either. Decided I wouldn't spend my money there. Very disappointing! Never had this experience with any of their stores.
