James Avery reviews

If you are looking for a job to pay your bills, this is not it. You are only guaranteed 2 days a week or about 12-15 hrs/wk unless it's around the holidays. The pay per hour is fair for retail but the "raises" are ridiculous and they should be ashamed to give such small raises. I feel they could easily pay more but there is a definite greed I did not expect to see from a Christian based company. You can learn to do jewelry repairs and soldering but there is no extra compensation for it. The only benefit is that you get to sit down a few hours when you do it. They do not offer any kind of health insurance even if you are willing to pay for it yourself.

If you're a good salesperson, you'll enjoy working more and make more money elsewhere. No commission structure. No objective measurements used (UPT, email capture, ADS) to evaluate sales associate's performance. Stores are consistently over-staffed for customer traffic, so time creeps by (with the exception of December and May). If you're a person who likes to keep busy at work, this isn't the job for you. Store management isn't customer-focused--they are internally focused and more worried about what Kerrville HQ thinks than what a customer thinks.
