Their sales strategy is outdated and unrealistic
They don't really give a jewelry allowance, but expect you to buy/wear the product, they want you to wear layered jewelry as well, when it is extremely expensive and you are not paid nearly enough to afford it, it is very difficult to wear multiple pieces. They give an allocation every couple months but that does not pay for the entire jewelry, you end up having to buy. Which is abnormal considering the product itself has an extremely high mark up percentage and does not cost much to make.
There is not much opportunity to move up, corporate does not listen to stores and increases sales plans even if stores did not meet the demand the previous year.
You have a sales plan but do not receive commission, no positive motivation to sell. You get punished by being written up if you do not make sales plans.
Every employee was written up one month when no one made their sales plans, if no one is making a sales plan then it is management that needs to figure out what is going on with business.
Did not receive a raise when I became a key holder. I also became a key holder after 3 months, which was faster than anyone else.
