Vantaggi
The team is small, around 10-15 people so you can really bond and get to know your coworkers. I made some really good friends through working here. When the store opened we got 50% off all jewelry but because Pandora stores are not franchised the store owner/investors decided to cut back to only giving us 15% off after 3 months. We got christmas gifts and cards from the owners (ie. silver bangle the first year and then just a $25 gift card the next year), and they do make a small effort to get a cake for each employee's birthday.
Svantaggi
Never got a raise after working there for 2 years, base salary stayed the same ( $12/hr), and commission stayed the same as well (1%). Hours are strange -- for example they will get you to work 3 or 4 hour shifts, and hours are distributed based on sales performance. Very few genuine encouragement from manager even through christmas season where we were the busiest, no overtime pay.
