Worst job I’ve ever had!! - Part Time Sales Associate Swarovski Employee Review

This was literally the WORST job I’ve ever had! This company does VERY LITTLE to ensure that their employees are happy and enjoy the job! Starting from the very strict dress code they enforce. From the way your hair should look to the makeup you wear down the the nail polish on your fingers! And if you wear anything slightly off you’re sure to be chewed out over it! They even attack the way you stand on the sales floor! And ideally they want you to stand around in heels for hours because it makes you look “fashionable”. The bonus system absolutely sucks! It makes it nearly impossible to make a decent living working here (unless you’re full time or a manager and judging by some of their reviews it’s near impossible for them too!). Their sales tactics are extremely pushy! Always forcing different items ESPECIALLY watches onto unsuspecting customers ....oh I’m sorry, “””clients””” when they don’t even want it! Swarovski is not known for watches! They only want to push it so heavily because it’s a high ticket item. The district manager in NYC (if she’s not gone herself yet) is another story. Doesn’t listen to anyone’s suggestions and only pretended to care or so it seemed. Honestly, if you’re going to do retail avoid this place like the plague! Retail is already a grueling high stress environment with unrealistic sales expectations and overwork the employees. Swarovski does absolutely nothing to make this better. Everyone’s trying to make a buck but the people on the retail level is doing it FOR the company! Least you can do is treat them better! Starts with upper management but you know they usually suck anyway..
