Pros

Stores, product and company are amazing. Health benefits are fantastic! Senior management is very professional. I truly enjoyed my interactions with them. Most of the sales team on the floor were great. Exceptional team members are rewarded with opportunities. If you do well, you can move easily from store to store to move up within the company.

Cons

Hourly pay is better than most retailers, but in expensive cities, it is still not enough. You are expected to toe the company line and not be too honest. The store I worked at was always understaffed due to folks being on medical leave or someone calling in sick almost daily. It created a bit of a hectic environment. It is a small store. Initially, schedules were made for a week at a time--making it very difficult to make plans. The management team at this particular store were never properly trained to manage staff--and it showed. I had been trained in management before and some of the things that were allowed to occur surprised me a great deal. No consequences for staff that had been there for a while. Training is mostly conducted online. There is quite a bit of it, which is good, but management at this store would admonish you for not knowing something or for not doing something fast enough. No encouragement--only reprisals. I never would treat staff this way. I quit due to poor in-store management.

Pros

Benefits are good as is the employee store. Great co-workers who genuinely care for each other.

Cons

Favoritism is a huge issue in this department to say the least. This has been brought to the managers attention time and time again yet nothing changes, it only gets worse. Hypocrisy also lives in this department! What's good for the goose is also good for gander, right? Not here!! Do not attempt to challenge this either as you will only get "it's my party and I'll cry if I want to" response. Don't bother making any suggestions either. If the Manager hasn't come up with it, she will not listen or value your idea. Ill utilization of staff. The hard workers are basically punished for a job well done, while other staff that barely make it into the office are praised to no end. Go figure!

Pros

- Decent starting pay and benefits. This makes for a relatively stable income, especially fantastic for retail. Unlike other retail jobs, they almost exclusively hire for full-time positions. - Looks fantastic on my resume. Even though it is retail, employers from other industries get excited when they see the name. - Employee discount is very appealing for some. - Great customer service values. Unlike other customer service or retail positions, Tiffany & Co is okay with you giving away the farm. I have seen services that cost thousands comped just in the interest of not causing a scene. This freedom makes it a lot easier to do your job. - Corporate management does care. However, they are shielded by the store management team, who has HR wrapped around their fingers.

Cons

- Pay increases at a glacial rate. They will give you a 1% raise every year, regardless of your performance level. I have had worse, less glamorous customer service jobs that give you a 2-3% raise every 6 months. - No training. They consider their outdated and mind-numbingly boring computer seminars to be enough information. You have to figure most of it out on your own. Your co-workers will be too busy to help. If you are in sales, forget about it - they don't want you taking their sales. - Terrible, toxic culture. There is no common link between management and employees. They micromanage and do not care about you as a human being. I don't think I ever had one conversation with my manager about anything that was not work-related, despite trying multiple times to connect with her. There is blatant favoritism with managers favoring their own hires. After a bad word was put into HR, management literally just bought everyone a gift to try to boost morale. The sales floor is very competitive and gossipy - you see grown adults battling it out like high school kids. Although I wasn't in sales, and was not involved in a lot of the trouble that went on, it just didn't make for a productive work environment. - No room for growth. The people in my department had been there for over ten years, my manager had been in my position for more than that. Especially for sales people who perform well, the salary in management is not appealing as they can easily make that in commission. - Little work/life balance. The majority of the people in the industry are single and middle-aged. It is very rare to see someone who stays in this field who has a family. That is because you do not have time for anything else. You are also very stressed.
