Pros

Pooled commission 1% and 3% individual commission on some departments. Pooled commission to keep things "family" like and less aggressive.

Cons

Corporate culture of a family like company and promoting within is all a facade that you will fall for until you really open your eyes. Too many games being played between management and sales associates and between sales associates and clients. The requirementsof clients to buy in order to be considered by management to buy other stuff is a major headache. Chinese associates and Chinese clients run and produce most the business there and the English speaking managers turn a shy eye to all the unfortunate and shady deals going on to purchase more "exclusive" and limited items.

Patronizing and Demoralizing Corporate Culture

Pros

Great hours and benefits for employees.

Cons

Extremely hierarchical and patronizing culture. If you are in a non-managerial position it is made clear on a regular basis that you are dispensable. Very much a hazing and demoralizing culture. HR department upholds a facade of an open-door policy. HR purely acts to protect high-up employees, while lower-level employees are treated inappropriately and unfairly. Not a place you want to work if you care about a supportive culture and opportunities to grow and learn.
