Pros
Communication is open between departments. Health benefits. Middle management shields the lower levels well from the turmoil of upper management.
Cons
Has moved away from customer focus. This is a toxic environment right now and continues to erode. Has a bonus structure for all employees but the levels are never reachable or are very small for several years in a row. Do not plan on bonus when negotiating compensation. Top tenure staff are being cut, forced retirement, or are on their way out. One bad decision after the other. Been through over a dozen lay-offs in the last 24 months. Goes unreported by the media and company. When sales are up people are laid off under the guise of restructuring. When sales are down people are laid off because of poor sales. Everyone feels like anyone could go at any moment and no amount of performance can save you. Employees have no voice. Non Jewelry Exec Board is turning Signet into what Zales had become before Sterling Acquired them. The history in the Jewelry industry of this approach is not promising. Not expecting the company to continue growth in the next five to ten years. Look for more protectionism and new top executives to continue pulling value out of the company for personal gain. Company is now being led by UK citizens and unprofessional young leaders that were promoted rapidly so that old execs could jump ship.
