Pros

Flexible schedule, free snacks, working with luxury items

Cons

Majority of upper management is unqualified, have been promoted by seniority instead of business acumen. Physical labor carrying upwards of 30lbs of clothing a day, many people in the office complain of back and neck pain. Negative employees, seems no one is happy to be there. Salary is not aligned with workload.

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.
