Pros
Being a sales associate does have its pros the pay is pretty good don't just settle for what they offer at the interview if you aren't comfortable especially if you have sale expierance. You get comission once a month and as long as the dtor made its quota plus some it really pays off. I like bonding with my customers you become their jeweler and part of their family. If you are in magangement you get to travel and the best perk of all is the dicount. They offer a gemologist and diamondologist program which is great if you want to advance your career.
Cons
The job is very demanding with their schedule. You work long hours, you have the stress of making you sale quota, you don't have a work life balance, The relationship between your district manager and yourself is very interpersonal. There really isn't a lot of room for career advancement but you are given the knowledge for it.
