Washington, DC

Current Employee – been working at Links London

ProsGreat discounts, benefits, and flexibility

ConsCan 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 ManagementWork 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

New York, NY

Former Employee – worked at Links London part-time for more than a year

ProsI worked with a great team; the schedule was flexible; generous yearly allowance for product.

ConsManagement 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 ManagementRead books on how to better your business and listen to you team. I'm sure the business has only gone downhill.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Short Hills, NJ

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.)

Advice to Senior Management- Need better marketing to have the brand be more recognized in the USA. Although a British brand, can't rely on tourist traffic.

Former Employee – worked at Links London for more than a year

ProsDiscounts on merchandise. Opportunities for growth. Generally supportive management.

ConsThe sales associates can be catty. It's what you would expect in a sales environment though. A lot of paperwork if you are opening or closing.

Former Employee – worked at Links London

ProsGood 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.

ConsOften 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 ManagementI 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.
