Pros

Work life balance is great-Management respects time and provides the right tools to succeed and actually want to see you succeed. Teams are motivated and genuine. Very happy since starting!

A good amount of changes recently which can feel uneasy but leadership provides reassurance and outlined plans for each quarter and what the goals are with said changes. 401k matching after a year.

Supportive team but heavy focus on customer service

Personal jeweler

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Less competitive environment because it is not commission based, comparatively high hourly wage, the whole team gets incentives if monthly goals are made, the company's name is reputable so you get a good-looking experience on your resume, good team members, less worried about losing products because most of the showroom pieces are samples.

Cons

Not much real pieces to sell, complicated system and processes, the constant shipping shifts, no on-site jewelers, long turn around time for repair and resizes and salesperson have no control over the jewelry pieces which means 90% of the job is customer service. Also not a good choice if you are looking for commission based job,
