Pros

Used to be an amazing company to work for. Years ago male employees could wear any color dress shirt to express themselves but now it's only white.

Cons

Where to begin? Company instituted a minimum for sales specialists depending on which floor you worked on. They are trying to promote cross selling by useless product knowledge trainings that are a waste of time. New policies resemble a police state where the employee signs off of everything via computer. If one of those rules are broken, probable termination may result. Managers are of no help, some stay in their office all day shopping online and refuse to assist irate clients. Lots of favoritism exist and if you are not in the inner circle you will not be advancing.

Pros

Pooled commission 1% and 3% individual commission on some departments. Pooled commission to keep things "family" like and less aggressive.

Cons

Corporate culture of a family like company and promoting within is all a facade that you will fall for until you really open your eyes. Too many games being played between management and sales associates and between sales associates and clients. The requirementsof clients to buy in order to be considered by management to buy other stuff is a major headache. Chinese associates and Chinese clients run and produce most the business there and the English speaking managers turn a shy eye to all the unfortunate and shady deals going on to purchase more "exclusive" and limited items.
