Pros

Overall a great company with fairly competitive wages (depends on country I suppose). I personally love working with the crystal expertise and the discount, which outweighs the other cons.

Cons

Little to no career progression. I've tried applying for their internal "traineeships" as suggested by management in their HO as a student only to be provided with many reasons why it wouldn't work. Many others have also had this same issue - not sure why there's an intern program?

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due to lower wage tiers, increasing workload and pressure on management Store conditions in some locations feel outdated, with limited investment in remodels or upgrades Compensation structure for hourly roles does not always align with expectations or workload
