Pros

They hire great worker bees with amazingly fun, down to earth, and friendly attitudes. You are exposed to a lot of technology and are expected to manage said instruments - giving you industry leading experience.

Cons

- Executive management shows little to no respect for work life balance, i.e meetings start before and after the signed and contracted working hours agreed to at hire... and if you do not attend, your job is at risk - Unless you are an Executive - you will be overworked and expected to work long hours - Employees are always under high stress and are given unrealistic deadlines without the appropriate tools to perform efficiently - IT does not have nearly enough staff or proper incentives to perform day - to - day functions, much more projects with strict deadlines. A single tech will be Level II, Level III, Engineering, AV, and help desk. A single tech will start the day with 50 tickets, just to have another 70 by end of day. - The CIO and his direct reports (the Directors) are completely hands off and are oblivious to the challenges within the team and the department. They suggest irrelevant and backwards solutions and literally throw tantrums sometimes boxes and company goods when expectations are not met. - Consultants are given more power and voice than actual full time employees of the company. Their input can often affect the employees position. - HR turns a blind eye to the many complaints regarding the working environment, work life balance, benefits, issues within departments and management. - Management overall is abusive to staff and that is because it stems from the CEO. The CEO completely disregards meeting times, speaks to staff in demeaning and abusive tones, and will fire anyone that stands up for themselves. The owners and HR Executives need to seriously let the CEO take a code of ethics course and quick.

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.
