Pros

benifits are good and thats it.

Cons

if you dont mind standing in one spot all day with minimal movement and having to meet quotas that constantly change including policies, than this is for you but if this doesnt sound good to you than dont work here.yes the job is simple, but youll definitely be jealous of the other departments that get to sit at their desk. as a photographer, youll be standing allot, but your legs will get tired so idk why they dont give us stools at least.

Thank you for submitting your review. We are happy to hear you are enjoying the benefits we offer. We are unable to provide stools in the photography studio due to the physical nature of the role and safety regulations. We are dedicated to continuously improving the employee experience and encourage you to discuss different roles and opportunities within different departments should this environment not be the best fit. If you would like to have a more in-depth discussion regarding your current work environment, please do not hesitate to contact your local HR team.

Pros

Pay and commission can be good, but the structure is unnecessarily convoluted and not as generous as it seems, and you will have no work/life balance if you want to actually make consistently high commission. If you have a true passion for luxury and fashion, you do get a lot of opportunities to handle and interact with special/rare items, and depending on store location you can meet a lot of interesting industry people and celebrities, especially during Fashion Weeks

Cons

Poor and unsupportive management with extremely unrealistic demands and expectations; you will get virtually no training, but are immediately expected to know how to do everything. The overall company culture is just unpleasant and very cliquey, and there's constant employee turnover. The online customer service system is terrible, so you will frequently have to handle customer issues that have nothing to do with you/your sales.
