Tiffany & Co. Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Work/life balance, culture, base pay, opportunities.

Cons

Benefits still catching up, lack of bonuses, technology is still in the process of updating.

Pros

Great pay, vacation benefits and product. Tiffany jewelry is out of this world, so it’s amazing to work for such a storied design house!

Cons

Opportunities to grow in your career are limited. Work/life balance is not prioritized. Management is very cliquey and childish, which makes it challenging for them to manage employees. Lots of drama and inappropriate behavior runs amok because managers are too busy gossiping and trying to be in with the “cool” crowd. Professional development is not a priority. Micromanaging is the norm and employee feedback is not valued in any way.

Advice to Management

Grow up?

Pros

A company with a long history and strong work ethic

Cons

Little emphasis or concern for work life balance

Pros

Good work/life balance, managers always willing to listen

Cons

No camaraderie, little room for growth, organization too big and extremely hierarchical

Pros

The only good thing is the employee discount

Cons

- company does not appreciate employees, no work life balance - People left the company (either fired or found a better opportunity) and the company does not fill those vacancies. The ones left have to pick up all the work with no salary increase or compensation. - No bonus - No career advancement opportunity at all. Because you are given too much work to do. Of course, you are unable to excel since it's way more than the workload you can handle. At year end review, the company use this against you and give you a bad rating. Thus, you do not get any salary increase nor bonus. - Overall, it's a terrible place to work at. Please expect nothing when you work there. - Culture is really bad as well.

Advice to Management

- Provide better compensation to your workers instead of firing them to keep cost down. - Turnover is too high and this is a bad sign for the company. - Company is unable to retain talent.

Pros

No tech skills needed or used. This company is so far behind with technology

Cons

Low pay, long hours, the expectation to be on call 24-7, no work/life balance, no professional development, management completely out of touch with what actually happens on a daily basis

Advice to Management

Work in your locations as a sales professional and operations professional for at least one month to be able to understand the reality of what customers do/purchase. Also, reflect on how hard you worked for those people. How many family dinners/days off/Saturday nights were interrupted by txts and phone calls from clients? And, was it worth the low compensation?

Pros

Good benefits and work/life balance. There are a few good people there to connect and work with. Chance to learn how to work in a fast paced company.

Cons

Toxic immature environment, backstabbing and throwing people under the bus. Management definitely plays favorites. There are employees that are favored and get away with not doing their job and there are hardworking employees that are not favored that get put down and treated terribly. The work demands are unorganized. It’s an established company that is trying to stay relevant but ends up making the work life an awful experience with all the confusion. A lot of employees end up disappointed in less than a year after hire. Not much growth, promotions are rare.

Advice to Management

Be more professional in the work environment. Teams are too divided and siloed. People that verbally abuse their subordinates should not get away with it. There is a reason why turnovers come in big waves. Too many employees feel undervalued.

Pros

Decent salary and that’s pretty much it

Cons

So many complaints about this company. They want you to do your work (and the work of 3 other people) but do not provide proper training material or update information. In reference to work/life balance I was told during my interview that they prided themselves on flexibility and balancing life and work. Well that was lies. My time in scrutinized and micromanaged and as a salaried employee. Time off is nothing special. You get three weeks and the bare minimum of holidays. And god forbid you try to use sick time. The company offers 10 sick days which you use or lose but they encourage you NOT to use it and tell your your performance score can be affected by using sick time. All in all it was a bad decision coming to this company. I should have stuck it out in my prior role Until a better opportunity came about.

Advice to Management

Update your training material and management style to work with employees. It’s 2018...
