Pros

Exquisite jewelry, incredible style, aesthetically amazing.

Cons

During my time there, there was a lack of a full time manager. We needed one badly as the work environment was extremely toxic and unprofessional due to no one setting proper boundaries or creating a standard for a healthy workplace. Lots of talking behind people's backs and not addressing anything directly. Things were ridiculously casual, but then you would get reprimanded at times for being casual. Lack of respectful communication from assistant manager who was extremely passive aggressive, negative, and condescending. They routinely hire very young people with no jewelry experience and over work them. The lack of jewelry expertise and overall experience and maturity really shows. They do not provide the tools needed to do the job (such as pricing items, removing old inventory from the system, having a manager or a properly working POS) but then blame all errors on the staff. Lastly, they promised full time hours upon hire and then a month and a half later they cut everyone's hours to 4 days. This caused a lot of tension and distrust. A business can't expect loyalty from staff if they don't show loyalty and support in return. As a result of this chaotic environment, turnover seems frequent. I believe they did have a wonderful manager at one time but she left.

Pros

Beautiful work space, great network of talented artists, designers and clients. Casual informal environment

Cons

Emotionally illiterate owner that is largely absent and never takes accountability. Upper management gaslights and manipulates and punishes lower level staff for performance they never set standards for. Very little concern for employee safety in a store that sells high value merchandise. Employees are disposable and there are often layoffs and hours reductions. HR is a family relative of the owner and can't be trusted. Gossipy. No health insurance, no professional development, no upward mobility, barely any PTO

Pros

If you like gold and diamonds and vintage jewelry its exciting but the cons outweigh the pros. The pay is slightly above average for retail but is commission based so income varies month to month.

Cons

The owner is ill equipped to run a team of people as are most small biz owners. 95% of the company despises the owner but the rest of the leadership team is cool so we stick around for each other.
