Business Outlook
Pros
Bergdorf Goodman is the Harvard of retail. You are surrounded by the best of the best to hone your skills as a salesman. You are introduced to and are able to build a book of some of the best clients in the world. And you are surrounded by the best products top designers have to offer with access to private events and training and connections in other fields in the industry.
Cons
You have to be very self-motivated to earn a living. There can be a lot of politics and favoritism shown to certain sellers who get the bulk of the product. You sometimes have to earn your living on what’s leftover for everyone else. It is highly competitive and can feel unfair. But overall it makes you stronger.
