Pros
I love Tiffany, always have and always will. I loved my job, most of my coworkers, most of the products, and most of the clients. The discount is great, most people will take part time/seasonal work for the discount alone. The pay is decent after 1 year, but it takes some time to build up. The pressure to buy everything Tiffany sucks away your income. The stories are great. The few corporate trainings (once a year) and client entertainment opportunities (maybe once a year) are fun, but far and few between.
Cons
Manipulation, racism, and laziness. Oh and the in store traffic is down about 50% across the country. The worst part about my experience was the blatant racism, sexism, favoritism, and political upheaval in almost every team. Every sales staff has their issues, but Tiffany is consistent with all of their teams in these categories. A lot of the times you'll hear reviews on here where people say "they don't care about you they just care about the numbers". The management will pretend to care, sit down and hold your hand and tell you everythings going to be ok, to get you back out there selling as hard as you can, then a week later they break the news sheepishly that whatever the problem is, is still a problem and nothing could be done about it and oh well time to move on. This is a consistent form of strategy with management and communication for sales disputes, customer service issues, payroll issues, vacation time, sick time, etc. The 'lets talk about it, go away, ok sorry cant do anything bye' strategy is implemented on a daily basis to get you to shut up. There is 'growth' opportunities in that most of middle management has been with the company for 5-10-20 years, which is great because they have knowledge on the product, but they move incredibly slow compared to the new management talent a lot of competing brands acquire. Management is very stuck in their ways, follow the manual from the 90's, any HR issue is relayed about 15 times until the staff gives up. There's a lot of miscommunication and over-communication and no result. Sales are wayyyyyyyyyyyy down from years ago, they're waddling through a worse slump than the recession in 08. The company rolls out 100's of new products, jumbles the prices, doesn't take away old products. Customers are overwhelmed and disinterested, the brand is fading. The company survives on the Asian business, so if you're CHinese in America, the company will hire you and treat you like royalty. Everyone else is just commonfolk hired to assist the Chinese in their takeover. Trump is a fan of Tiffany for a reason. ....
