Pros

The company is growing fast and working on hard problems. The engineering team is people oriented, and built around making engineers successful. The company sees itself as a tech company and invests in engineering solutions to challenging problems.

Cons

The company has consistently struggled with work happiness in the warehouse. I completely understand. It's a very tough job and I always do my best to support those teams however I can.

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.
