Pros

Beautiful product, nice dealing with pleasant customers, pay is good, great company history makes it very motivating to work for.

Cons

My experience made the company appear awful at dealing with bullying - a girl in my team made my life a living hell, I still think about how hard she made my life to this day. From comments about my weight, to shouting at me in front of customers. Though this was not the fault of the company, I spoke to HR, and higher management, numerous times, and was made to feel as though it was my fault and as though I was a “troublemaker” for bringing it to light. I dealt with this for a year until it was too much to handle, and I had to quit. Poor attitude to sickness and mental health. Knocked my confidence a great deal.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We very much appreciate it. At Swarovski, we truly value constructive employee and customer feedback. Our hope is to make each individual employee, from our stores to our corporate offices, feel that they are valued. At Swarovski, we take bullying and work place harassment very seriously, addressing concerns and situations with complete confidentially and immediate resolve. Our employees attend a series of Workplace Harassment trainings and on-going guidance is provided should any incidents occur. To that, Store Management, Human Resources, and an anonymous Hot Line is available to report any work place situation. Our goal is to ensure all employees feel safe and secure at all times; should resolve not be met, we have an escalation process in place that can provide additional support. We appreciate your insight and please know that your comments have been shared with Sr. Management and Human Resources.

Pros

The management team is refined and very accommodating. I loved my time here. I had so many opportunities to learn and grow through my experiences, and working with the team was amazing. Holiday seasons were stressful but never unfun. The management here really makes you feel cared for. Love the discount on most jewelry as well.

Cons

Scheduling could be volatile during holiday seasons, but that's to be expected for a front-line sales position.

Pros

Strong level of autonomy as a Store Manager to drive the business, implement strategies, and influence sales performance Opportunity to develop leadership skills through team coaching, training, and performance management Emphasis on client experience and building meaningful in-store customer relationships Creative freedom to execute sales-driving initiatives and local events Hands-on ownership of business results, which can be very rewarding for self-motivated leaders

Cons

Limited support from regional and district leadership, particularly in satellite locations, which can feel isolating High turnover due to relatively low pay for Crystal Experts and Assistant Managers Budget constraints make it difficult to recruit and retain experienced, high-performing talent Teams may require significant development due to lower wage tiers, increasing workload and pressure on management Store conditions in some locations feel outdated, with limited investment in remodels or upgrades Compensation structure for hourly roles does not always align with expectations or workload
