Pros

The vast majority of employees like working here as they see what we are doing and are part of something that has never been done before. Hard work and ethic are recognized and those that perform know they are making an impact to the company's success.

Cons

It's a start-up even though it's been one for 5+ years and with that comes growing pains. The business moves fast and that comes with mistakes but these are not done intentionally. So if you are a person that needs a button down job with all processes and practices well honed this is not the place for you.

Pros

Pay and commission can be good, but the structure is unnecessarily convoluted and not as generous as it seems, and you will have no work/life balance if you want to actually make consistently high commission. If you have a true passion for luxury and fashion, you do get a lot of opportunities to handle and interact with special/rare items, and depending on store location you can meet a lot of interesting industry people and celebrities, especially during Fashion Weeks

Cons

Poor and unsupportive management with extremely unrealistic demands and expectations; you will get virtually no training, but are immediately expected to know how to do everything. The overall company culture is just unpleasant and very cliquey, and there's constant employee turnover. The online customer service system is terrible, so you will frequently have to handle customer issues that have nothing to do with you/your sales.
