Pros

The people in store, lovely, so much fun to work with. The budgets aren't too outrageous, however incentives are inconsistent across store.

Cons

No room to progress, despite them always suggesting there is. They don't care about retaining staff, everyone is replaceable from a higher management viewpoint. Very low pay. Expected to work extra hours. Expected to always look pristine, perfect hair, makeup, clothing. They have not hired people for not having the 'Swarovski look that customer's aspire to'. We're ENCOURAGED to wear 'sexy' clothes in order to sell to men.

Pros

Can't think of any because my departure was in amicable.

Cons

You stand around until a customer enters the store and then you run to attack them for a sale, force them to try something on, and get blamed if they don't make a purchase. I regarded this company highly until I worked there for the time that I did. What I learned about the materials compared to the prices of the products just did not match up and I would not sell that jewelry in good conscious. Management itself was highly unprofessional and closed to feedback or input from employees.
