Pros

Juice bar Okay if you are in direct sales Good designs (but best designers leave) Nice views in corporate office Great cleaning staff

Cons

Low pay and long hours which is why everyone leaves. Turnover is insanely high. Company does not care about employees. No ownership stake, no room for advancement even after many, many years. New CEO is a ultra-bully and hires other bullies. Whip, whip the horse, never feed it. Doing tremendous damage to the company. COO hires very badly. CFO fired. CIO fired. New one is non-technical and unqualified. Like CEO, lives to berate. Company facing cut backs due to sales, may get sold to larger firm. HR is overwhelmed.

Pros

Working at David Yurman was a great experience overall. The pay structure and commission potential are very strong, especially for those who are motivated and good at building client relationships. The jewelry itself is good quality, which makes it easier to sell with confidence, and there is opportunity to make great money, top performing ambassadors are easily earning $110k+ annually.

Cons

While there is strong earning potential at David Yurman, the work environment can be challenging depending on the store and management. At the location I worked at, there was a high level of micromanagement and constant pressure to meet individual monthly sales quotas, even when the store was already meeting or exceeding its overall goals. This created unnecessary stress and took away from what could have been a more collaborative team environment. Because individual performance is heavily emphasized, it can also lead to a more competitive or “shark-like” atmosphere, where sales interactions feel tense as everyone is focused on hitting their numbers. Management styles were consistent, but expectations were extremely high, which can negatively impact morale and work life balance especially during peak seasons. There is also limited flexibility and, in some cases, unclear paths for advancement. While the brand and compensation structure are strong, the day to day experience can feel intense and overly performance driven, making it a difficult long term fit for some employees.
