Pros

There are simply no pros.

Cons

Blue Nile is not a luxury store, no matter how they advertise. I have been denied jobs from actual luxury brands like Cartier and Tiffany because they don’t take it seriously. I interviewed at one place and they assumed BN only carried lab grown diamonds. My career has been stunted because of Blue Nile. The “growth” I was promised? Never happened. I have been stuck in the same position for years oh and my total increase since I started? A dollar and some change. Don’t expect commission like a real luxury store. Don’t expect security guards like a real luxury store. Don’t expect any of the components of a real luxury store at Blue Nile. This dog and pony show they have put on is faltering. They hire unqualified managers who don’t work weekends and ignore HR complaints. I have come forward so many times about the misconduct that occurs at Blue Nile. There’s so much more to say but corporate deletes Glassdoor reviews as well to maintain their facade.

Pros

- One of the most diverse places to work. The overall company culture is great - people are friendly and supportive. Employee recognition is very well managed, which helps keep you motivated and engaged in your work.

Cons

One con is the learning curve associated with the business model. With multiple brands and systems in place, It takes time to fully understand how everything works. Could be addressed with training and inclusivity.

Pros

Less competitive environment because it is not commission based, comparatively high hourly wage, the whole team gets incentives if monthly goals are made, the company's name is reputable so you get a good-looking experience on your resume, good team members, less worried about losing products because most of the showroom pieces are samples.

Cons

Not much real pieces to sell, complicated system and processes, the constant shipping shifts, no on-site jewelers, long turn around time for repair and resizes and salesperson have no control over the jewelry pieces which means 90% of the job is customer service. Also not a good choice if you are looking for commission based job,
