Vantaggi

Full timers get benefits, health, dental. 3-5 PTO days based on how long you've been with the company. Full time managers get a monthly bonus if they meet a percentage of the goal (only obtainable if you have worked there past 90 days).

Svantaggi

Training is disjointed. You might do some in the home office, some in the store, not very consistent. All staff realized we received totally different variations of training. WAAYYYY too much is expected of employees. You're expected to run a store, interact with customers, answer phone/email, enter 100-200 items and go through consignment all at once....and the store must be spotless. Couldn't agree more with other reviews that you don't have much of a personal life, and you're not expected to. Definitely not a good job for anyone who is thinking of starting a family or has one. Only one location has enough employees, every other location is seriously understaffed. Turnover rate is high (eve for retail). Any promises about growth is a joke.

Hey there! The outlined con's are also the direct expectations set out in training and in job descriptions given to all employees. We've been in business over 10 years and have had wonderful teams who have accomplished - and exceeded - these expectations. This is a great job for folks who are looking for a challenging role that will teach business and time management. We stick to a 40 hour work week to allow everyone a work-life balance. We also promote almost entirely from within. Our current District Manager started as a Part Time Sales Associate 4 years ago. Our previous one as an Assistant Manager. Our HR team is located out of the main office and all stores are equipped with security cameras which we can also view remotely from headquarters. With the high level of inaccuracy in this review, we do need to flag it. We hope that you have found success in your next professional career!

Responsible for e-commerce photography of clothing/accessories and digital asset management (naming, color correction, organizing files for post-production). Enjoyed a flexible schedule and clear, routine tasks.

I loved the job, but had to leave for health reasons that made commuting to the studio regularly impossible.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for the years you contributed to our photography and online store. Your work was an important part of how we present our inventory online, and I genuinely appreciate the care you brought to it. I'm sorry to hear that health reasons made commuting to the studio unsustainable. That's never an easy situation, and I respect the difficult decision you had to make. I'm grateful for the positive experience you had here, and I'm committed to building on that foundation: clear expectations, meaningful work, and a culture that adapts when team members need it to. Best wishes for your health and what's next. Carmen

Vantaggi

If you're looking for a part-time sales or a great landing spot out of college, this could be the perfect fit for you. It's an excellent environment to enhance your knowledge of brands, fabrics, and the luxury goods market. You'll have a blast with the merchandise and the employee discount if you're passionate about thrifting, shopping, and clothes. Personally, I've had a great experience working alongside almost every sales associate and store manager during my time with the company.

Svantaggi

IDK, I wrapped up my time with them in December and I wanted to share my experience (compared to others on this board). First off, the team (co-workers) were great. From day one, I was surrounded by passionate, driven individuals who were always pushing each other to be their best selves. As for management, they were seriously hands-on, always there to offer support and guidance. It felt like having a personal coach. Plus, they were tech-savvy, utilizing all the latest tools to keep everyone connected and in the loop. Training? I was taught everything I needed to succeed and told where to find the answers if I needed more help. I believe pay was standard with the industry but what really stood out were the opportunities for growth and development. They encouraged us to step outside our comfort zones, take on new challenges, and reach for more responsibility. Sure, there were some challenges along the way, but what job doesn't have them? In the end, it was tough to say goodbye, but I'll always cherish the memories and friendships I made along the way.

Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. It's clear you genuinely cared about your work and the team, and that made a real difference during your time with us. I'm proud that you felt supported, challenged, and connected to passionate colleagues—that's exactly the culture we're working to build. Hearing that the training, hands-on management, and growth opportunities resonated with you reinforces what we're doing right. Your contributions to the Clarendon team didn't go unnoticed, and I'm grateful you were part of our family. We'll miss having you, but I'm glad you're taking good memories with you. And yes—snacks will remain fully stocked. Carmen
