Pros

Some of the pro’s are company benefits such as health, Dental, 401k, short & long-term disability, & PTO. Additional pros are that if you work in sales, and are very driven, you can do really well with no cap on your potential earnings. Outbound sales income can vary to as low as 35k to over 150k depending on your sales skills and the clients you close and keep. Another pro is the people, 90% of my co-workers are really great people who I enjoy seeing and most are very much team-players and happy to help if you need help. I also like the casual dress code and flexibility schedule. Once you pass your “rookie” status, Stauer allows you to make your own schedule, within reason, as long as you are performing well. That is a very big pro for me. Also, they do frequent spiffs and employee lunches which is also a nice perk on occasion. The jewelry you get to see is very beautiful and fun to learn about as well. Another pro is Stayer has proved “pandemic proof” and is still hiring even with COVID so good job stability.

Cons

While there is PTO, it does not cover your sales goals if you take time off. So, unless you consistently hit and exceed your sales goal, taking a vacation is very difficult. Another con is the hourly pay is very low, especially for Minnesota. If you thrive on high-pressure and love the “challenge” of closing sales it probably won’t be a problem for you. But, if you want a steady, secure income the stress of the low hourly is high. About 50-75% of your income is commission based so when you are closing sales it’s awesome, but when business is slow it can be very stressful. Another con is the lack of growth opportunities. At Stauer, once you are hired for sales you are stuck in sales. They hire outside talent for management so if you want to grow with the company it is basically impossible. If all you want is to close sales and make lots of money, and you’re good at sales, then it’s perfect! But if you are looking for a long-term career that will eventually lead to management or a non-sales position then this company is not for you.

Pros

Good job if you want to be lazy, they’re desperate. They will hire you after a 30 min convo so it’s a good job to use to get money in your pocket while your job hunting.

Cons

I am used to the truth being a bit stretched when accepting a sales jobs- however; I cannot count how many lies were told. I overheard a sales rep also tell the general manager that he does not participate in gossip (face palm) When I hear the world luxury usually it’s 5 digits. I barely saw any luxury items. In my interview I was told that they’re not posted online. A company loans them 30 pieces to sell at a time which are 10s -100s of thousands of dollars and I asked to see them at my interview and was told that I’d see them later….so really are there any luxury items???? I Worked there for a month and never saw anything luxury. Other employees 4 to be exact audibly laughed when I told them I’d be working remote. Nobody ever makes it. When I calculated how much people sold on average per day- it seems like you’d have to wait at least a year to be remote if you’re lucky and apparently they recently raised the sales goal for remote workers .They have 2 hiring classes a month- so how come their call center room is so small? Who do only 30 sales reps work there?? Sounds like they run through sales reps like TP- it makes the timeshare industry look better. I compared the jewelry that was sold to places like target and it’s about the same in quality- just less gaudy. Their stones are discolored as heck. They run through employees like toilet paper The recruiter offered me ten thousand dollars more on the base salary than what was offered at my first interview. I was told that I couple come back after a family tragedy that almost resulted in a death- and they don’t communicate with me. Lunch is 30 minutes but if you’re not on right away within 30 mins you will be scoulded. The trainer tells you one thing- suddenly you’re handed off to an overbearing supervisor without a heads up. It’s genuinely insulting to put highly experienced professionals in a call center unable to make commission they need to pay their bills for a month When you ask people to review your calls- they won’t. I asked for weeks. I tried to build a book of business in my call center hiatus that would be more profitable in the long run. Why would you take consultative sellers and add them to your call center ? Also really look at trust pilot and see what people have to say….
