Pros

Great customer base & nice work colleagues. Some amazing pieces of stock but these are few & far between. Very hard to live up to the companies hype as it is certainly not the unique shopping experience a customer expects.

Cons

Shabby treatment of all staff whether long standing or new by the directors made for an unpleasant work experience. Condescending & rude at the best of times they prefer to email insults rather than discuss directly with staff. Micro manage all branches but do not deal with difficulties with customer complaints....preferring to leave it to staff to take the flack means unnecessary stress & worry . Constantly leaving stores under stocked with the items customers repeatedly request whilst still maintaining they are unique...it was always expected that staff must push stock no matter what it was. Just make money. Needless to say much is made at interview stage about incentive of bonuses but hand on heart these are not attainable no matter how hard you try because basically the stock lets you down.....Christmas shopping starts in October & not last two before Xmas when stock arrives so many many lost sales. All this is put down to staffs ineptitude even though the stock is sitting around elsewhere & not put into stores. It doesn’t matter how good a sales person you are you just won’t be able to achieve ridiculously high targets without correct stock....that’s just basic business logic.

Pros

Cons

No breaks Staff areas need attention lots of mould Management treat staff like dirt Owners don’t care about staff Some staff members are used and abused Targets are not achievable Moaned at if you don’t get add ons Watched on cctv all the time If you are having a laugh you get phoned up and told to stop taking staff are not allowed to get on with each other Have to start 15 minutes prior to your start time and not get paid,, if you leave 15 minutes earlier your pay will be deducted.

Pros

Beautiful Jewellery Lower management (not owners) were lovely Seaside town beautiful

Cons

Management have massive trust issues Constantly being watched on CCTV Spoke to like children I left in 2011 after the set up of a new store where we had to literally scrub the floor of the whole store with nail brushes The owner is a control freak You constantly feel on edge and even when you have done something well or sold something expensive you don't get praise for it
