Pros

Pretty Store with attractive jewelry/layout Able to learn the business due to running the whole store/front end and back end. Skills to take with you when you leave

Cons

Low Pay Passive Aggressive Upper Management Style No Pay Raise Non-commission Bonus structure made nearly impossible to reach due to economy/price hikes and being a non necessity company Lack of clarity Strict Wardrobe for a company that prides themselves on being a place where they claim to support individuality. Stressed to wear newer pieces but the allocation hasn't changed in years and the prices go up every year all, and no pay raise. Totally out of touch with their everyday workers, while the company throws lavish Hollywood events in NYC. Working 9 hour shifts with a 30 min lunch break, Modules given every month on new ways to sell to the customer, now doing ship from store which add another task, often having to come in early to complete online orders which saves the company money . Store gets credit for sale due to items coming out of inventory and also takes the hit if the item is returned. Management is expected to make 25% of sales while the SALES team is only responsible for 18-20%, meanwhile management is spending their time running the store and correcting the mistakes of the sales team all while having to outsell them! Zero appreciation, unless you count $15-25 for a "pizza party" twice a year. Very toxic work culture coming from upper management, Company wants to go luxury which just means they want to find ways to make even more money on jewelry that tarnishes after a month, breaks after a couple of months . Total Money grab of a company. All that glitters isn't gold.

Pros

Some hard workers are overlooked such a shame. Great pay ( but is used as an excuse to bully you )

Cons

Bullying is a daily occurrence Sexism with racist environment Extremely political (more than other corporations) Leadership are some of the worst I have seen in 20 years in the Marketing and Brand industry HR are powerless - do nothing (they can't) but even worse share at times information instead of fixing problems Senior managers with no experience, no background take the glory while others are doing the work for them get nothing Many people leave, are fired or are on sick leave all the time. No career progression The team are overworked and ask to pick up more.

Pros

Lovely team to work with, from the upper management to co-workers. HR very accommodating and listens to every concern brought up. Stores kept to a high standard

Cons

Management leaves Rota organisation very last minute meaning we cannot plan our out of work life. Unrealistic store KPIs leading to almost no bonuses
