Additionally, the unique opportunity to travel across the United States adds an adventurous element to the job. Building relationships with co-workers, clients, and teams along the way creates meaningful connections that enhance the experience.

One challenge is adapting to the fast-paced environment and occasional schedule changes. It requires flexibility, planning, and organization to stay ahead. However, this also brings variety and keeps the work exciting, making it a rewarding experience for those who enjoy taking charge of their responsibilities.

Dana Augustine Inc. offers a dynamic environment where employees take ownership of their roles and thrive in a fast-moving industry. The culture values independence, professionalism, and a high level of expertise, creating an engaging atmosphere for those who are passionate about their work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
early start, where employees organize their plans and arrive at  event location. The excitement kicks off as employees set up the line and prepare to deliver an unforgettable "before your eyes" experience for both store personnel and customers. Bringing energy and enthusiasm to the store is key—it’s this contagious excitement that creates memorable moments and drives success.
Throughout the day, employees lead engaging interactions, ensuring appointments run smoothly, customers remain captivated, and the artistry of the jewelry crafting process shines. From setup to sales, inventory management to paperwork, each day is a mix of hard work and rewarding accomplishments—all fueled by the energy employees bring to the event.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Independence to do what is needed to hit targets within clearly established policies and procedures. Unlimited earning potential. Home for Christmas and New Years with family. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of technology, condescending attitude from ownership, inability to plan time off in advance and last minute changes to schedules, spending all your time with one co-worker and sharing a single vehicle transporting a 4 million dollar line of jewelry. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You're on your own for the most part so it's great if you are a self starter and independent. Ownership is a micromanager and makes no attempt to create a positive culture, the preference is that teams don't talk to one another. Take the feedback from the office as them trying to help you get better, you won't get any atta-boys so not hearing from them is a good thing. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get up early, check out of hotel, re-confirm with security, drive to location of previous event, pick up merchandise, drive to location of the day's event, set up for the day( hopefully the store team is on time), lead a meeting to set the stage for the day with the team, work open to close as a salesfloor general and make sure appointments close and all merchandise is constantly accounted for (you lose it you buy it), then pack up, finish building any jobs from the day ( could be 2am) send over daily paper work, check into your hotel and get ready to do it agian.

Working at Dana Augustine is very stressful. There is absolutely no time for a personal life if you're the sales rep. How much they care for their employees is all a show. They don't care what you think, they just want you to do what rhey want. There are many things that are left out of the job duties when interviewed for position and the time your away from home is Doble then what they say.  The office team is rude and disrespectful even if you're brand new. Now I see why there is so much turnover.  Please if you go on interview make sure you know everything your responsible for and how you are always working even on your days off. You work so hard to be treated like garbage.

My position at Dana Augustine Inc was a traveling salesman. DAI is a jewelry company which sells diamonds, gemstones, and settings which enables the customer to select their stones and jewelry style onsite and sit and watch as the jeweler build their piece before their eyes. My job was to oversee 63 accounts and hold 1 day restyling events at a different store each day. I would work alongside a jeweler who would travel with me.

Drive to a store, set up the line for the event.   Meet with store staff and go over the line with the staff.   Daily training with staff on market trend updates, show preparation, selling techniques.  Book and manage hotels and budget for myself and jeweler.   Inventory management

Got to travel all the time within my territory.  Developed a relationship with the stores and the product was so well made and full of artistry it made the sales presentation go very well.  Full training with another rep was provided and you never felt alone.  I loved this company and the travel.

Traveled 6-8 weeks at a time in a 8 state loop delivering custom jewelry and loose diamond sales to branded jewelry stores for one day events. I LOVE to travel, but I also am happily married and wanted to stay that way.  If you have no family commitments this job is awesome! I loved the company and the jewelry, both were quality inside and out.

This is more of ownership than work. Profit sharing, having fun and most importantly having a great family life .
The company gives you room to grow your business with all the tools needed including the best team available 24/7 to help you navigate every step or challenge 

Not really a supportive group. Only when they need something..They dont care if you're sick on the road .Its not worth the amount of money they other .Its like getting paid minimum wage for a skill .

Do your job and don’t complain 
Best company I ever work for that is simple and pays well … if your lazy or have bad attitude and cant get along with people this job is not for you..
