Pros

Working from home and somewhat controlling your schedule...liked fellow SMLM's. Concept of the company is great---consistant follow thru is not always the case.

Cons

Cannot trust what they tell you is true--since everyone is remote, they tell one associate one thing and another different information. Micromanage, rarely do right by the consignor or customer, typically do right by TRR. No real consistant authentication standards.

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.
