Politics and favoritism

Pros

A lot of the employees are really nice. Met some great people. The products are very luxurious and pretty easy to work with. The company's cred stands strong.

Cons

Working at a funeral home is probably more eventful. This company dulls out the personalities of their employees, when you leave work its like leaving jail. There is crazy favoritism and politics. You are also told to lie to clients about whats available and not, absolutely no credibility and integrity as a company. They shred the tissue and boxes and bags so employees cant have any, good look taking a bottle of water from the fridge! They have NO REGARD for their employees, just another robot in line.

Pros

Great benefits. Higher pay. Holiday party at rainbow room is cool. employee sales.

Cons

You'll be absolutely miserable within 6 months of working here. Everyone who works here is miserable but no one will leave because of pay and benefits. No room for growth. A LOT OF LIES AND FALSE PROMISES. No recognition for hard work. so much red tape. You'll get in trouble or fired for almost anything. People are scared to do their jobs because they think they will be fired. Treatment of clients is poor. If a client walks in the door all employees run. no one wants to help only if they know client is spending money.

An environment run on fear

Pros

Extravagant employee holiday parties and you are surrounded by beautiful products..

Cons

It's a work environment run on fear. Management is worried about making errors, creating an environment where people walk on pins and needles in fear of losing their jobs. This is particularly true with the selling of handbags and all the rules that apply. It is a stressful day to day transaction for the salespeople and clients. This takes away from the luxury experience, creating doubt among seasoned clients and those who wish to become good clients of the house. Favoritism exists among managers and salespeople and among salespeople and clients. Stressful, damaging, negative, immoral enviornment.
