Pros

Decent employee discount Multi-brand Jewelry experience

Cons

-Management earns the same commission as sales associates, so they can keep the better online appointments for themselves. -Online order commissions are often split or reassigned by management, -Very outdated POS and inventory systems. -Not enough proper tools, so a lot of time is wasted on unnecessary admin work. -Endless repairs

Pros

Overall a good company to work for. Good benifits, fair compensation and decent quality of life benefits like vacation, personal time, stock option etc..

Cons

The commission structure was always being changed. A very nepotistic environment, if you underperformed and were in the right crowd you were untouchable regardless. Unable to be competitive with product pricing was a frequent issue.
