Pros
Great jewelry discount; kind, intelligent co-workers. I enjoyed my time here for one reason: the camaraderie with my co-workers. Flexible schedule, depending on your manager. Managers are great—-corporate, not so much.
Cons
Corporate has demonstrated over and over that they truly could not care less about their sales associates. I highly recommend looking elsewhere. If are a sales associate, you will be seen as highly expendable, unintelligent, and lazy, despite the work itself being physically exhausting, stressful, and sometimes even emotionally taxing to the point of burnout. No retail job that pays so little should be this difficult. The company as a whole is struggling with a lack of communication between departments, as well as general pettiness and lack of professionalism polluting the entire establishment. It’s a shame really, Mignon is a wonderful artist and designer whose company would indeed have a future, if only Corporate would learn to treat their employees with the respect they deserve, and to LISTEN to their sales associates. This brings me to my last point: the customers. Never in my life have I been so disrespected and belittled by the general public, and all for being a sales associate. The truly horrible customers are by far the worst aspect of this job, and I was only able to handle the constant barrage of rudeness and greed by commiserating with my colleagues, all of whom were lovely, thoughtful people.
