Pros

Supportive women colleagues and primarily women led.

Cons

The number of customer service issues are unfathomable. This job is primarily customer service. Constant glitches in the system that are not resolved and you are told to work through them. Discretionary Time Off is pitched as unlimited. It's often not approved or you don't request it because your goals do not reflect approved vacation time. You'll still be expected to make your goals if you go on vacation. It affects work life balance poorly having to make that decision. If a vacation time was set it would encourage people to feel ok taking the time.

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.
