Pros

It was good the first year I worked there but slid downhill after that

Cons

Hours are were reduced to less than half original hours and asked for more work in less time My last month they refused to pay my invoice hours of work which is illegal Invoices and pay cheques were always sent late or not at all Accountant writes wrong address on your pay cheques and sends out and this is your fault? Very toxic environment with management who will yell at you Emotional and physical well being will be at risk for cheap jewelery made in sweat shops Makers of cheap tacky out of fashion jewelry that breaks as soon as as you touch it, embarrassing to merchandise and represent product Outdated designed product Poor communication to staff and the management blaming you for their mistakes Constant management change over as toxic environment, I reported to about 10 different people while I was there No wage increase in 6 years Company has negative perception in retail environment in Canada So many negative stories about Garbo and nothing positive to say, can't believe they are in business

Pros

Summer hours: Monday- Thursday from 8:00am to 5:30pm, Friday from 8:00am to 12:30pm.

Cons

People worked as slaves more than 48 hours per week. No bonuses, sick or vacation days, no health benefits. Management yelled all the time on employees, no respect to anyone there. You must take vacation on the Christmas time or days which the president company tell you, not when you need it. Sick atmosphere in the office and in the warehouse.

Pros

Got to see all the new jewelry and name it, great discounts on Brand name designer costume jewelry ., what may cost 100 dollars to by in the store a employee can get for a low 5 dollars., that is a extreme perk of working at the Garbo Group., the sample sales and employee crazy priced discounts

Cons

The marketing and sales dept are always nit picking on everything you do., a lot of yelling at employees .
