Pros

Local Team was great to work with! Only reason the job was bearable. Good hourly pay Solid benefits Two consistent days off in a row, sames days every week

Cons

Upper Management attempts to push of issues to the showroom level, refusing to take accountability for their role in problems and upset customers. Practically no upward mobility. I witnessed a co-worker receive a "promotion" only to have to fight to keep their current salary. I also witnessed an assistant manager of 2-3 years, and a rep another 2-3 years before that, get passed up on a manager promotion because some new VP "didn't want to do internal hires" Unrealistic Sales Goals; does not take into account local market and current events. Good luck bonusing if you are not a virtual rep, or in a high-value showroom PTO blackout Oct-Dec Lack of ability to resolve customer issues in showroom. Anything more than incredibly basic policy exceptions cannot be issues by even the showroom managers Lack of opportunity for sales growth. Claim to be "Omni-channel" but the channels other than in person are either random luck resulting in low value (phones), assigned to you once in a blue moon (chat), or incredibly contested and riddled with people violating sales ethics with not repercussions (customer inquiries) Lack of solid policy. Wishy-washy sales ethics and customer policy lead to confusion and more issues, while the resolutions team will rarely help the showroom with issues until the issues becomes INCREDIBLY escalated.

Brilliant Earth stands true to their mission and values in an industry that can make it difficult to do so. They invest in their team and really focus on growth and development. Brilliant Earth is innovative and open to feedback from their employees to enact positive changes within the company.

Cons

This industry has intense competition and has competitive sales goals that could be difficult for those who lack strong self-motivating skills.

Pros

My coworkers were the best part about the job. I also had a big interest in the jewelry industry and it was so cool to learn about rings and brackets and the whole operations aspect of a business.

Cons

I had to beg to be given a position and raise for the work I was doing. I came in as an assistant but was quickly doing the work of an associate and was met with pushback over a promotion even though I saw others coming in after me with no experience being given the associate title. Even people I worked with were given a promotion over me simply because I had only been there for 7 months. By the time the title and pay was offered to me I had already found a new job back in the old industry I was working in.
