Pros

Overtime only during holidays Free jewlery

Cons

They treat people like children. There is Overtime only during the holiday seasons. There is,absolutely no heat in that place. The elevators hardly ever work and you have to walk up several flights of stairs. But for some odd reason management never take the stairs. It's a modern day sweat shop. Management have meetings about nonsense. When you make a mistake it's your fault even though management and the so called "Team leads' don't train you properly on QCing. Every other day they change the rules everyday about checking the jewelry. The same jewelry that is sold on eBay for $0.10, customers are paying 4 times the price value. It's sad that the company is getting away with it. Also for example they have a team of inexperienced females called "The Damage Team" . On this team they fix broken jewelry. For example if a pearl, stone, or a diamond falls off a necklace, bracelet or earrings they use glue to repair the stone that fell off. This company truly do underhanded things in order to make a quick dollar. If anyone plans on working at this sweatshop I advise you to run. This place is not for you. They do not acknowledge anyone's hard work. They expect everyone to be perfect but yet management is not perfect. You cannot have any mistakes while inspecting the items given to you in your order or else you get fired. When a holiday comes management does not care if you make a mistake when QCing _(Quality Control) the order. They just want high numbers and the order to get out. There is absolutely no heat after 3PM in that warehouse. Employees as well as management literally sit in coats, scarves, and wear gloves just to get the work done. They don't care what so ever. Even the building landlord asked the senior vice president and senior manager to give him a call to turn the heart on and they refused. Pure nonsense. Also the piece is so dusty and run down. Everyone literally leaves the warehouse with dust on their clothes. Sad Part is that we all sit for 8 hours at a table checking to make sure the jewelry is in great condition to send to the customers. So why would there be need to have dusty on your clothes. Also lazy managers who yell and curse at you for nonsense like being a minute late or asking a question about why you missing 10 hours from your check. None of the managers do their job. But the managers are children them selves. Make sure to not leave any personal stuff laying around such as your cellphone, laptop, or IPad cause someone will steal it. The bathrooms are always disgusting and there is never any tissue in it. Don't even ask for a raise cause you will never see it. It's worse than high school at the place. Stop taking advantage of your emoloyees. Give raises. Stop firing people over nonsense and telling people that you're budfet was cut therefore they have to be released. Maybe if you didn't spend the money on bs such as those gift boxes and charging customers ridiculous prices maybe you all can afford to give people raises. Stop selling scrappy reglued jewelry. Stop teaching employees fraudulent tactics on how to get away with it.

Pros

You get to look at pretty jewelry all day!

Cons

To work in this warehouse is an absolute nightmare! All because its been imperative for the move to the new warehouse to happen right away, the safety of the employees is in no way a concern. Employees are forced to work in a DUST FILLED, unsafe and hazardous warehouse that is still in the process of undergoing construction. The heat comes on at 9am and cuts off at 3pm which creates a cold environment for shifts starting at 7am-3pm and at 3pm-11pm. Afternoon shifts go without any heat at all. There have been several occasions where the elevator doesn't work. Forcing some slightly disable and pregnant woman to be forced to walk 6 flight of stairs while some of management mysteriously make it up on secret elevators. People who come in for early morning shifts are forced to deal with the blinding sun coming through the blind less windows, while working 90% of the time on the computer. In addition seasonal employee's are promised employee discount codes and rewards for "Mandatory Saturdays" all to be terminated after orders slowed down for the holidays, never receiving rewards nor discount codes. Management has such a manipulative way of promising you splendors like free lunch and gifts in order for you to work harder to in the end just act like it was never said until you forget. Lastly if your willing to be a puppet, its your only true step towards a promotion and then you can go on to making other people miserable as you choose your team of "favorites". HARD WORK proves to go unnoticed because after spending a holiday there it was proven that hard workers were let go while, tardy family members, lazy employee referrals, and incompetent permanent workers were picked to stay. Decisions on who stays and who goes are left to workers put into leadership positions. So instead of decisions being based off of hard work they are based off of "personal" feelings. If your amazing at being a brown nose this is most definitely the place for you.

BaubleBar Response

Glassdoor will not remove negative reviews and while we respect the decision to promote freedom of speech we are compelled to add an employer response to this piece of writing as it contains completely false allegations that, among other things, include accusations of the company directly flouting OSHA guidelines. We would like to state in our defense that these statements are unfair and untrue. We would ask the reader to understand that as an employer we believe that much of this piece is simply fabricated. Thank you.

Pros

Lots of jewelry, but invest in pliers ...

Cons

Typical HBS grads who had an idea and started a company. Unfortunately they don't know the first thing about running a business. To say there is a lack of management is an understatement. Some of the Directors and VPs are completely incompetent. If you want to learn something & grow look elsewhere. Otherwise join the Holiday sweatshop.
