Pros

Discount, Summer Fridays, Juice Bar...

Cons

The culture at DY is one of the worst I've ever seen, even for the fashion/jewelry industry. The family puts a lot of pressure on the employees and they are very far removed from reality. They change their minds/direction easily 15 times a day and don't realize all the work that actually goes into each change. With the exception of a very few people, upper management doesn't do much, besides long lunches and chatting most of the day in their office. They do somehow manage to keep their egos inflated. Some have earned their positions but it's clear that if you've managed to stay at the company for a long time and the Yurman's like you, you will get rewarded, even if you don't do any work. There's a lot of cliques and for the most part people are not friendly. There's no on boarding process and no one wants to be bothered with helping you out. Yet, they will get mad at you for not automatically knowing what to do or if you don't do their job. Also, they are infamous for hiring you for one job and then changing it when you start..then all of a sudden you are a personal assistant. I'm sure, at least hope, that some departments are better than others..but I have never encountered one.

Pros

Great benefits, hybrid model you get to choose the days in the office.

Cons

During my time at David Yurman, I was initially excited to contribute to a respected brand in the luxury space. However, my experience was ultimately shaped by persistent challenges stemming from senior management’s approach to leadership and collaboration. One of the most difficult aspects was the consistent lack of respect for my professional expertise. Despite bringing experience and a proven skill set to the role, I often found my contributions minimized or disregarded entirely. This created a discouraging environment where professional growth and innovation were stifled rather than encouraged. The overall leadership lacked clear direction, which frequently resulted in shifting priorities, ambiguous expectations, and conflicting guidance. This instability made it difficult to execute meaningful work or drive initiatives forward with confidence. Moreover, the micromanagement culture was particularly disheartening. My manager often shared overly detailed to-do lists with cross-functional teams, reducing my role to that of an entry-level assistant rather than a skilled professional. This approach not only undermined my autonomy but also eroded trust among colleagues and diminished team morale. While I value the lessons learned and the resilience I developed, I believe the company would benefit greatly from investing in more empowering, respectful, and strategic leadership practices.
