Pros

50% discount for a limited time twice a year. Meeting interesting people sometimes. Seeing clothes of the new season before they are released to the public. Working in a luxury field.

Cons

Horrible experience while working there. Worked in a leadership position but was never treated with respect by anyone in my store or the nearby flagship. Everyone always talked about how long they've worked at their store and seniority means everything, whatever I said didn't mattered. Everyone except managers work on commission, and you are held accountable even though the country is going through a recession and no one wants to buy $400 scarfs. Sales associates troll around the store looking for customers and are total SHARKS, they will steal a sale from you and yell at you later for trying to take it from them. You have extremely low pay checks because of the low commission. Long hours of standing on your feet, shifts are 9am-6pm or 12pm-9pm.

Great Benefits, good office, good work hours

Micromanagement, bad onboarding, not acommodating to employee's needs. Manager did not know how to properly onboard their employees, micromanaged every aspect of job and complained and did not set proper expectations.
