David Riddiford
Current Employee – been working at Links London
Pros – Great discounts, benefits, and flexibility
Cons – Can sometimes be VERY slow. There seems to be a bit of upward mobility but I wouldn't categorize the company as one who believes in hiring from within.
Advice to Senior Management – Work on better designs and marketing. Visit stores more frequently to address any areas of concern. Promote from within more often.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Pros – I worked with a great team; the schedule was flexible; generous yearly allowance for product.
Cons – Management is very inexperienced; corporate was a complete mess; higher turnover rate than McDonald's for sales and management; no brand identity; no room for growth
Advice to Senior Management – Read books on how to better your business and listen to you team. I'm sure the business has only gone downhill.

Pros – Good discount, flexible schedule and they have a kitchen

Advice to Senior Management – Hear both sides of the story and be impartial
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Links London
Pros – - Fast-growing company
- Unique product (mens and women's jewelry and gift items)
- Great employee benefits
- Great employee discount
Cons – - Small company and store so it could get competitive
- Not as much brand recognition as competitors (Tiffany, etc.)

Former Employee – worked at Links London
Pros – Good company that sells some beautiful product. I was fortunate to have a great manager who treated employees very well. All other upper management I interacted with were pleasant, competent people who seemed to care about the company and its people.
Cons – Often time business could be tough and painfully slow. I worked in one of the North America locations, so not many people know about the brand, so it could be a challenge to draw people in to try out the product.
Advice to Senior Management – I had a very positive experience working for Links of London. Much of this was in thanks to my great manager and the people I got to work with on the floor.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
