Pros

The cafeteria has good food.

Cons

The culture here is that of a big brother cult. You will be judged on every aspect of your appearance, down to the pace you walk through the building. Employees that work in the vault/distribution center are treated like second class citizens. There is systemic sexual harassment at the jewelry stores across the United States. The Sourcing department is a disaster. Sourcing managers are completely inexperienced and project their insecurities onto the team and then blame them for it. The Sourcing department had near 100% turn over in 2018-2019. Skill and merit is not rewarded, only brown nosing. Pay is bad, benefits are worse. No 401k in the first year of employment because they know turn over is high. You will frequently see employees leaving at the end of the day in tears. They had no foresight to adapt to modern day e-commerce and had no ability to buy jewelery online until 2020. They paid the price for this. Believe all the negative press you see on Signet, it's all true.

Pros

Great place to learn how to become a better jeweler and grow your skills, if you are in an environment that takes full advantage of what the company provides. The benefits are also extremely generous with PTO and depending on the work environment, your schedule can be very flexible. Also being a jeweler means you are in a separate department from the sales side of the company and they have no authority over you, and your job as a jeweler isn't impacted by the sales side, you could be working inside a Jared, but it doesn't matter if the salesperson couldn't make the sale, and the money charged between the Service Center and the store is all just a number for tracking margin, so it's really nice being a jeweler that doesn't need to worry about sales or have a salesperson lord over you. It's very different than a mom and pop jeweler job.

Cons

Depending on the shop/manager your growth can be stagnanted. The company pushes for number of units and that's created a mentality of a focus for lesser quality workmanship to pass through QC. The store side salespeople don't get trained well on their side and will lean on the service center side to do the technical things for them. The sales staff knowledge on jewelry can be next to nothing because it's not a requirement for them, so that adds a lot of friction between jeweler and sales staff.
