Pros

Designer furniture, recognizable luxury brand

Cons

Management is the worst! The owners are rude the GM is extremely rude and disrespectful. They blame all the problems on the consultants and will yell at you even if you're not at fault. No structure no training no room for growth. They are very wealthy people and look down on their employees. Will ask more of you than your job description and will not pay or increase salary. I ran the store for months by myself no days off no overtime pay didn't even ask if I could do it just yelled at me for taking a day off and closing the store after my "manager" said I could. Lastly they have a bad reputation for not paying the help so there are several people who will not work with Diva in the city very embarrassing.

Pros

You will be paid for holidays.

Cons

They want folks to bring their own clients, yet have you sign a form saying you will not take clients when you leave. They allow management to bully the sales staff and will not address issues even when formal complaints have been made. You will maybe see the owners once every few months, but will receive passive-aggressive emails, texts, and calls from the corporate office. There is no support from the corporate office and owners. Logistics for a high-end experience are non-existent. Basic needs like landline phone, internet, advertising, and marketing are not available. They want you to use your own money to woo designers and architects. You will not receive any benefits aside from a very expensive, mediocre coverage medical insurance. No 401(k). No dental insurance. No disability insurance. There is no room for growth. No marketing. No constructive criticism or suggestions are allowed that would increase revenue. People are allowed to claim customers they’ve never waited on. Management accuses associates of doing things without looking into them then does not apologize when wrong. No accountability for some folks when it comes to attendance. They do not utilize folks with experience. There are people in charge who have no retail management experience.
