Pros

You do not need to work directly with the public, if you are shy it can be a plus Pay is above average for the area.

Cons

Highly political and immature infrastructure that goes pretty high up. Impossible standards for promotion that are designed to function like a carrot-on-a-stick Burnout culture/poor work-life balance and bonuses promised that don’t pay out if their highly buggy internal system, which is not completely accurate, displays your productivity incorrectly No natural light I would ONLY work here if it is not your first job in jewelry and you don’t plan on it being your last.
