You see lots of people because it’s in a mall, the inventory doesn’t have problems (or at least didn't in the years I was there), and generally there’s always something to do. The company has a brilliant 7 step selling program that’s pretty seamless if you do it right.

At my time spent at Helzberg, I had some of the worst moments with the Store Manager: Sonila. You could work your absolute hardest and still receive no recognition. You can run the store, love it as your own, and even fill in the missing pieces to run a seamless store, all while maintaining sales goals and her abnormally high standards, and STILL it will not be enough to please her. No wonder the store has such high turnover.

Can at times be a very good opportunity - for both money and advancement. Other times, politics can interfer with your growth.

Environment can be very political - advancement dependent much more on who likes you rather than how productive you are.
