Pros

Hours aren't that bad. It's nice that they provide lunch and breakfast on designated days because they definitely don't have to. Learned a lot about the various brands.

Cons

1. The warehouse environment was torturous especially during these hot summer months it felt like a sweat shop! Absolutely horrible they expected us still to hit high goals with it being super hot and showing little care at all. 2. Communication absolutely sucked and management did not know how to speak to people at all. The fact that they feel that they feel they can do whatever they want seriously needs to be addressed!

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.
