Pros
-this company is involved with all aspects of the jewellery industry from designing to manufacturing to supplying to sales and insurance.
-company offers advancement
-generally a self-directed work environment, which an be great if you're ambitious, a fast learner and great with time management
-many coworkers are very nice and helpful (but not all)
Cons
-building/work environment is high security making it difficult to come and go for breaks. There is poor ventilation and no windows which is unhealthy and a little depressing.
-there is a huge amount of product with many people from different departments handling it--it can be very disorganized and difficult to find a specific piece under pressure.
-very little training--it's a sink or swim environment that's very self directed
-management is in a word, "cheap". They discontinued Benefits (due to supposed "abuse" of Benefits by employees) and while many of the employees have been working there for years, there is little job security
-the products involved really vary in quality
-it's this company's policy NOT to provide an especially positive reference for having worked there: they will just say that you were employed there and objectively state your duties
-this company could take more pride in their product quality and provide better Customer Service
-management will merge/add job responsibilities to a full plate on a whim with no proper evaluation
