Pros

The job is quite fancy, not hard labour. Convenient flexible schedule. Working with people. Regular monthly salary.

Cons

-the basic salary and commission are low and not changing with the working stage. - the work is very seasonal and the sales are difficult as the prices are high and the quality is low. - incompetent management: after finishing the internal management course they are not ready to manage a team of people, not ready to solve any problems arising in the store on their own, they concentrate their attention on the wrong things: e.g. the nail polish of a sales person, while there are no sales and something has to be done about it. - the office employees behave very distantly and look down on sales people, not willing to help when a problem arises -the possibilities of promotion are low and very time-consuming. The salaries then are not worth the responsibility and the stress. - constant and unhealthy rivalry between the stores - can get quite stressful between the sales people during the times when there are rare sales

Pros

Excellent opportunity for a seasoned sales consultant! A beautiful collection of luxury, high-ticket mercandise.

Cons

As a long time jewelry sales consultant, I believe in a professional manner when handling commissioned sales. There is too much controversy amongst coworkers in this type of selling environment. This is an excellent company. The employees will tend to be very unprofessional in their quest to be a top sales consultant.
