Pros

Good opportunity to learn about the luxury jewelry business, meet high profile people, small company where you don't get lost in the shuffle

Cons

This is a family business and many of their relatives work there. Other employees are treated second-rate sometimes. Very few opportunities to advance and they are stingy with raises.

Cons

Luxury means high expectations, so you have to learn the story behind each piece, which takes time.

Pros

I was treated nicely by coworkers while I was there.

Cons

Every employee is working with and enormous amount of anxiety because anyone can get fired without proper warning! You won’t even know until you get the news. Even when you see management the day before or that morning, you won’t even get a hint that it would be your last day!!
