Pros

Jewelry Discount, Casual Dress Code Paid fairly well compared to other places

Cons

-Work-life balance is totally non-existent for salaried employees. -Very little training and by very little I mean NONE! - amount of meetings = UNBEARABLE! How can I be expected to get my work completed if my manager and director have me in meetings ALL day! -Some managers were EXTREME micromanagers meaning they would ask you to work on something then come over to your desk/call you in 5-10 minute intervals to ask if it were done! -OnBoarding Is awful. I sat at my desk for an entire week with nothing to do, the person that was supposed to be training me went to another country and no one thought ahead that maybe the new employee would need to be trained by one of the other 30-40 analysts!

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.
