Pros

Good staff discount rate on jewellery **

Cons

Extremely toxic work environment Being told one thing by key holders and another by management leading to confusion and being overwhelmed. Minimum wage High expectations from start date Management scrutinises every single movement and mistake you make. Was reprimanded for blazer being “charcoal/dark gray” instead of black ** Discount only works in the store that you work at, not able to use online or at other stores.

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due to lower wage tiers, increasing workload and pressure on management Store conditions in some locations feel outdated, with limited investment in remodels or upgrades Compensation structure for hourly roles does not always align with expectations or workload
