Tiffany & Co. does offer some of the best health care benefits, including a great vision plan. I know CEO's of companies that have health plans not nearly as good as Tiffany & Companies. They also offer tuition reimbursement, which is a great benefit to younger employees still trying to get a degree, and for older employees trying to broaden their knowledge. As mentioned in previous reviews, there is the benefit of a decent discount and amount of prestige that come with working for a luxury retailer. Comparing the job to similar ones at other jewelry stores, the salary is slightly higher.
Cons
Management seems to be a problem company wide. They are unprofessional, inexperienced, and at times unethical. When representing us at events or in the local community, I was embarrassed for them to be associated with Tiffany & Co. as a management team. They micromanage in a way that makes employees doubt they know how to do their own job. They are unprofessional when it comes to disciplinary procedures. They are unethical when it comes to simple labor laws such as harassment, discrimination, and time off/breaks. If an employee ever had a problem in one of these areas they often had to go much higher than store level, even higher than regional HR, and still wait several months before anything was accomplished. Perhaps the biggest con of working for Tiffany & Co. is the low morale due to many things including the layoffs resulting from the recession. The low amount of managerial experience is reflected in the managements teams response to a low morale: just pretend it doesn't exist and ban employees from any negative comments in the store. In addition management has proven to be insensitive when it comes to issues such as deaths and severe illness in the family. Most of the time you have to fight to get time off for it and are rudely belittled for needing the time off. And if you are thinking of becoming a Sales Professional for this company be ready to wear an armored shield to work. This sales floor is as back stabbing and competitive as they come. And the entitled clientele doesn't make the job much better.
If you’re starving or about to evicted from your home I guess this place could be a temporary means of solving those problems
Cons
South/Central American Sweatshop operating in America owned by French scumbags paying hard working people low wages to skillfully manufacture 10’s of, if not 100’s of thousands of dollars worth of fine jewelry on a daily basis. Metal free clothing policy, come to work dressed like a slob or look like an idiot tucking a button down into draw string pants. Dirty restrooms. (some) Miserable security guards that you’ll deal with entering/exiting the secure area (i.e. where you work). 2 weeks paid vacation but 4 days automatically applied to factory shutdown in December, you know, the best time for vacation in Rhode Island. Office workers making 6 figures a year look at the skilled workers like scum. Overall this company sucks. The State of RI should kick them out. Go learn a trade and work for a local company for some real money and let these cocksuckers keep exploiting people fresh off the boat.
