Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. At Swarovski, we truly value constructive employee and customer feedback, both positive and negative. Of Course, we are thrilled to hear that your work environment is” Fun”, building a culture of teamwork and connectedness is important to us at Swarovski. Equally important to us, is to make each individual employee, from our stores to our corporate offices, feel that they are valued, as they are an integral part of adding sparkle to everyday life and we are sorry to hear that you are not happy with the compensation. Here at Swarovski, we strive to remain competitive in our compensation practices and regularly review our pay rates and bonus structure and therefore last year we rolled out a new Retail Employee Bonus Program. This new bonus program was rolled out after much research to enhance our compensation and to foster an environment where teamwork can flourish. The new bonus structure also embraces an omni channel approach to selling as it takes into consideration the success of the entire North America market including our online sales. We are also proud as part of our compensation program to offer a generous merchandise discount, flexibility in scheduling and a full benefits package to all our Full-Time employees and a modified benefit package to our Part-Time employees, including the ability to participate in our 401K. As for your concern “hard to get into full time position”, please note we always look first to promote from within and would suggest you work with your manager on an individual development plan to determine what you need to achieve in order to move into a Full-Time role.

Pros

The training material and tools available are great. If you enjoy working with people this is a great opportunity. I worked at a location where we got a lot of tourists so talking to them was fun. We were a team of about 8 people we got along great. We had two managers, one of them was absolutely amazing. Employee Discounts PTO Career Advancement

Cons

The pay is low. We first had a great store manager, because of the way she led the team everyone got along and when we didn't she would help solve conflicts but then another manager was introduced and ruined the whole team dynamic. She would start rumors so associates would fight against each other. She would spend most of her time on the back online shopping for personal items during her clock in time, and when an associate would come to the back looking for an item that was an expensive item, so the she could get it ready for the customer, our manager would grab it from the associate, go out and take the sale. Multiple associates complained to our regional manager, and nothing was done about it, all the employees left within 6 months after I left. There is opportunity for advancement, unfortunately, the pay is also very low.
