Pros
The work is genuinely interesting. You’ll be seeing really beautiful pieces of jewelry. And if you’re looking to sharpen your Gemological skills the experience is excellent. You’ll be working on everything from High Jewelry to plated costume. The company does provide a very good level of free snack and beverages, and will do nice things like occasionally order pizza for lunch.
Cons
This place isn’t for everyone. The training is horrible. The 360 learning consists of watching or reading material that can take several minutes to 30 mins to complete; you are asked 3-5 questions and from there you are expected to remember dozens of steps and procedures. You are discouraged from asking your colleagues because everyone is chasing their daily goal. Which brings me to the goal. You are daily reminded of your goal. I understand that companies want productive employees but the goal is so challenging that most people don’t achieve it. And just in case you aren’t keeping track of you number there’s a digital Leader board on the wall which provides the daily totals of all the Specialists. There’s constant turnover. At least 2 people a month resign from this place. And management doesn’t make any announcements. You’ll just know because the desk has been empty for a week.
