Pros

Decent medical benefits Commuter benefits Great location to work at in the city

Cons

Unprofessional sales team overall. Very cliquey and catty. Similar to the environment of junior year in high school. This role is for a inexperienced sales professional who recently graduated from college. It was also shocking how some of the sales development representative would speak poorly about their consignors. I won’t even get into detail about the exchange of conversation in the Google chatrooms.

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.
