Pros

Great opportunity for someone who loves fashion and vintage. You'll visit beautiful Manhattan apartments, work with elite clientele, and thrive in a fast-paced environment. Very female lead.

Cons

Be prepared to work weekends if you take PTO to make up for your time off and make your commission goal. If you like traveling abroad, management will only let you have 5 days off at a time, making it very hard to do long-haul flights. Very hard to make commission in the winter months in NYC as most of the uptown clients are in FL.

Pros

Pay and commission can be good, but the structure is unnecessarily convoluted and not as generous as it seems, and you will have no work/life balance if you want to actually make consistently high commission. If you have a true passion for luxury and fashion, you do get a lot of opportunities to handle and interact with special/rare items, and depending on store location you can meet a lot of interesting industry people and celebrities, especially during Fashion Weeks

Cons

Poor and unsupportive management with extremely unrealistic demands and expectations; you will get virtually no training, but are immediately expected to know how to do everything. The overall company culture is just unpleasant and very cliquey, and there's constant employee turnover. The online customer service system is terrible, so you will frequently have to handle customer issues that have nothing to do with you/your sales.
