Pros

The reasons to work for this company are the experiences you are able to share with customers. Most of the time happy occassions. Witnessing people who are in love, and chosing jewelry that fits their style. Working with beautiful merchandise. Feeling proud to work in a professional enviornment. And they have great health benefits.

Cons

Working long hard hours. Never having weekends off. Never enjoing the holidays, (because you are always working )Having the job title of a assistant manager and training new employees who make just as much as you or more. Being underpaid, and not able to talk with anyone without getting in trouble about your concerns with it. Feeling brainwashed that you make "good money" Not making any commision as promised. They told me in my interview---don't worry about your hourly--commision is what its all about....yea right....

Pros

There is a lot to learn in the jewlery business when you start but Sterling guids you through the basics of the business and lets you devlelop your own way of selling the items. They pay for all full time employees to become Certified Diamondtologists through DCA. Every year before 4th quarter they fly all managers from stores and repair shops to Florida for a managers conferance. Sterling also has a incentive trip that every full time employee has a oppertunity to go on a week long company paid vaction to a exotic destination.

Cons

Very demanding of your time to prepair for special events that seem to be schedualed every month like VIP events, Remount events, and Prefferd Customer weekends

Pros

It's one of the best in a dismal field from which to choose if you need to be in NE Ohio. They do a terrific job of bringing emotion and personal connection to the customer experience. One of the finest retailers I've ever known. Exemplary customer focus. I'm proud of the company's involvement in its charitable programs. Sterling is a good corporate citizen.

Cons

Managers are fine task masters, but lack the ability to generate enthusiasm and commitment. Ironic that its business is about emotion, but middle managmeent does not or cannot make an emotional connection with the employees. It's a real disconnect from how Sterling treats its customers and what its stated core values are . This may be Sterling's greatest opportunity for improvement and achieving its goal of being a world class company. HQ departments are in silo mode, the classic us vs. them mentality. 401(k) plan is pathetic, been under review for more than a year.
