Just don't do it.

Business Outlook

Pros

At first the salary was competitive, free watches, ok discount, health benefits.

Cons

Everything else... it's supposed to feel like you're in a cool group when you work there but it's really a sucky wack job. They are afraid to loose horrible employees if they sell well. Constant coaching even if you're doing your job correctly. Acts like the job will make you a better person when your personal life has nothing to do with the job. Only work here if you're willing to give up your personal life and devote yourself to it. The company should just stick to Europe because those stores do well and we aren't doing anything.

Pros

Nice co-workers. Relatively easy job. Good work-life balance.

Cons

impossible to get promoted. Pay is low and commission structure is so unfair. Management is weak and recruits weak performers who can be dominated. Your willingness to stay at a position is more important than your competence or willingness to learn and grow. CEO is not liked by most.
