Pros
Product discount, luxury experience, and some of my coworkers. Brand recognition, beautiful product, low stress/ pressure unless you count low commission checks.
Cons
If you have been here more than 6 years you should have a pretty full book of clients that are repeat purchasers. However, less than 3 years, and you will struggle to hit your sales goal 6 out of 12 months. It's truly luck of the draw on customers. It's an up system at a lot of stores and you can wait over an hour between clients - it's that slow. No one is coming in to buy. Example: My up turn I may get the person dropping off a cleaning or someone who has never been in Tiffany and just wants to take pictures. The next sales person gets the serious client who drops $10,000-$50,000. It's a lot of luck. No more goal adjustment on vacation or sick days. No more individual bonus if you're doing well; it's now a team bonus based on the stores results. Language skill employees not only earn more per hour, they also get half of your sell if they assist in translation. That's if they decide to help you or if they don't snake the sell for themselves. 1% commission payout. If you're lucky to get in to management - you make a nice salary to sit in your office checking facebook, booking yoga classes, and not actually having to develop your team.
