Pros

The lunch benefit has been changed to $50 per month on an Eat Club account. Yeah it won't the whole month. But it's better than nothing There is still a shuttle to/from Bart I worked at TRR back when we had free lunch nearly every day. We are not Facebook, we are not Google, with BILLIONS in revenue to be able to afford having catered lunch for everyone. The company is cutting back on such things...which yes does suck. But for survivability and the sake of becoming profitable so that we can be ready for going public. That's why it's happening

Cons

No job is perfect Yes there are aspects of the company that are not good. Every company has these.

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.
