Pros

Fantastic amount of PTO. It's the only thing keeping me here this long. Great place to get experience as a jeweler. They offer two stone setting course that you are compensated for. Get the experience and knowledge and go.

Cons

Upper management will find any way to cut costs. Since I've been working with the company I have seen it go down hill. I have yet to experience a shop where the manager hasn't played favorites for all the wrong reasons. The shop is at the mercy of the stores. They've increased billing goals to unrealistic amounts just so they can deny employees promotions, raises, and bonuses. Meanwhile upper management goes to lavish trips in the Bahamas at the expense of the company.

Pros

Great place to learn how to become a better jeweler and grow your skills, if you are in an environment that takes full advantage of what the company provides. The benefits are also extremely generous with PTO and depending on the work environment, your schedule can be very flexible. Also being a jeweler means you are in a separate department from the sales side of the company and they have no authority over you, and your job as a jeweler isn't impacted by the sales side, you could be working inside a Jared, but it doesn't matter if the salesperson couldn't make the sale, and the money charged between the Service Center and the store is all just a number for tracking margin, so it's really nice being a jeweler that doesn't need to worry about sales or have a salesperson lord over you. It's very different than a mom and pop jeweler job.

Cons

Depending on the shop/manager your growth can be stagnanted. The company pushes for number of units and that's created a mentality of a focus for lesser quality workmanship to pass through QC. The store side salespeople don't get trained well on their side and will lean on the service center side to do the technical things for them. The sales staff knowledge on jewelry can be next to nothing because it's not a requirement for them, so that adds a lot of friction between jeweler and sales staff.
