UNOde50

Uno de 50 is an inventive jewelry brand based in Spain, offering its employees a well-rounded experience in luxury retail marketing and management. There is no typical at their New York Headquarters location. Every day brings new and exciting developments, new ways of navigating business, and more opportunities to problem solve. 

Having a firm grasp of the Spanish language is incredibly helpful as an Uno de 50 employee. As a Spanish-based company the language is used throughout the company internally and many loyal clients are also Spanish speaking. 

At the New York City Flagship location of Uno de 50, you have the opportunity to meet and development meaningful relationships with members of their corporate team. The location accommodates for business in North American markets and often hosts members of our Spain-based corporate team. Fantastic opportunity for networking with clients and company employees alike. 

The most difficult aspect of this role is the need to learn most managerial tasks and applying them on the job. While you may be a Sales Associate, you will be exposed to responsibilities reserved for assistant or head management positions. While this can be overwhelming and difficult, it is an enriching hands-on means of learning and moving forward as an employe. 

The most enjoyable aspect is working with the fine jewelry that Uno de 50 hand-makes. We have the opportunity to learn about and share the jewelry making process, how the jewelry is designed and why, as well as the stories behind the craftsmanship.

Uno de 50 is a wonderful enterprise to learn and grow within the the realm of retail management and luxury marketing. Spanish is important. Store and company management always advocate for your success. Challenges present opportunities to learn hands-on. Always a pleasure learning and sharing the inspiring story of Uno de 50, it's handcrafted jewelry, and its impact in luxury retail. 

Uno is a good first job if you are looking to get into high end sales. A lot is required of you with little compensation. This store and staff are small so everyone plays a part in the daily routine. From emails, shipment, back stock, visuals, and most importantly selling! Being part of a small team makes it easy to learn about the product and clienteling. You have an individual sales goal and the store as a whole has a monthly goal. Now in order to get any commission for your individual sales, the store has to make 90% of its monthly goal. So if you make the company 12K and the store as a whole doesn't make 90% you get ZERO. Now if you don't make your individual sales goal, you get written up. You get 3 chances to miss your goal, then you get fired. I think them holding you responsible as an individual for your goal, but not giving you the money you earned for your individual sales is wrong. You can miss out on $200-500 a month! A store bonus only happens if the store makes 100% Now I would urge you to ask how well the store is doing that you are interviewing for. Most of the stores in the US are below, so these extras won't matter. A day at Uno can be really slow, lots of walk-ins so you really have to know how to sell. Conversion is a must! All of our clients are great, they are usually really excited about the brand and love to add on to their existing collection. I'm very lucky that I have a fantastic store manager. Most of us stay because of her knowledge and positivity. Everyone at our store tries very hard to do our best everyday. The company markets themselves as being unique and genderless, but they tend to micromanage, from uniforms, the shade of lipstick, the 4 monthly jewelry looks you have to pick from. You don't really have a choice when it comes to creativity within this company. The changes they have made makes you feel like you are easily replaceable. Even if you have great client feedback, if you don't get the money, it doesn't matter.

Have you ever heard of them? No. So don't work for them. Its that simple. These people hinder their own success by failing to have any kind of finite plan. Be warned, a typical day going to work for this company consists of  them expecting you to give them all of the information you have learned in your entire career and then never being acknowledged or listened to. The CEO, and the other corporate management are a joke. Its almost like working in a movie where the bosses are doing the most terrible, bird-brained things and you're left to pick up the pieces. They micromanage everything and execute nothing. Bills are not paid on time or accurately. Vendors, employees, retailers, etc will call you expecting payment. Be prepared with answers about how you have no control over them getting paid. Don't expect to be respected or for people to be on time for anything. Home office in Spain thinks they are selling Chopard level jewelry and refuse to acknowledge product defects. Expect to spend of lot of time cleaning up all the messes the CEO and  HR make. They have zero experience in the American market and you must speak Spanish to fully understand them most of the time. its not worth the trouble. Stay Away.

Stupendously, the worst company I have worked for. 

The fear-driven, toxic and aggressive scare tactics used and perpetuated by upper management is so psychologically stressful.

As an assistant manager I was kept in the dark but was expected to understand fundamental systems and procedures while not getting properly trained or informed on just about everything. 

Goals were set so high that no one ever met them and when goals weren't met -and- if you fail a mystery shop, which were so extensive, much like their Brand Standards (it might as well have been a book) you did not receive your commission. 

Communication was so awful from just about everyone in upper management, yet you were scolded if something wasn't done or done correctly. 

I was verbally berated by upper management. 
When I told them I felt uncomfortable with the conversation and needed to end it and felt that they were being aggressive, they retaliated with a write-up. 
HR did absolutely nothing, in fact, I was ghosted.

Very disappointing and disheartening experience. 
I do not recommend working for this company.

Management was good at first, until corporate dubbed them the favorite. The work environment quickly turned hostile, the people in upper management are consistently condescending and rude. Remarks were made about gender and “new age ideology” that had no place in the conversation, looks like they just wanted to trigger someone. 

I put in my two weeks, only to be called before it was over to tell me I was terminated. I was not paid adequately for my role and duties, when asked for raises they always tell you to “prove yourself” and even if you are consistent, you will never hear back.

There’s no room for growth in this company. Your commission is probably the best you’ll get. They don’t want to hear the real world around them will effect sales, they expect you to push and push. 

TLDR: don’t work here. Unless you like being taken advantage of and dealing with the condescending attitudes of upper management.

Enjoyed our customers very much.  The product was very easy to sell because it was so unique.  People loved it and that made my job so fun. 
The store had to be spotless at all times, and there were many protocols to do the job and remain employed.  Working with luxury items with high end customers requires you to always be on your game. Very strict dress code and procedures to follow, on top of meeting your goal daily/monthly sales goals regardless of the Seasons.  Our mangers were very positive and helpful in a crisis.  Also, flexible with your hours if you had a family emergency.  Great discount on the beautiful products we sold. Although stressful and busy at times, I did enjoy working there.

It was alright but I personally would not recommend. They pump the air full of a custom scent complied of patchouli and sandalwood that only succeeds in giving employees headaches and can't be turned off. Sales goals at that location were unrealistic with the little amount of foot traffic that the mall gets. The staff is a revolving door and corporate itself is a mess. On multiple occasions when the same question was asked to different people in corporate, answers varied drastically depending on who was asked. The closing procedure itself was an entirely different beast to tackle. All in all this wasn't the worst, but there are far better companies out there to work for.

UNOde50 is a good company to work for in regard to building your skill. If there is a skill you feel is an area of opportunity management is always willing to help you build that skill. 
UNOde50 recognizes the hard work put in by professionals working within their corporate office in New York City only. There is an opportunity for growth but only on the corporate level or for upper management. 
Too many tasks are given not allowing for the sales team to focus on selling. 
Monthly sales goals (budgets) are unrealistic for smaller stores (c) boutiques. 
Lack of honesty integrity ( management, upper management)

What is the best part of working at the company?
I love selling the jewelry and interacting with the customers, but I also like wearing the jewelry.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part about working at the company was feeling discriminated against, not feeling like I belonged. This company is very racist.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The working environment was very toxic, and the culture in the company was very discriminatory and racist

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It was very stressful, mentally and emotionally

For me it was a very bad, horrible experience working for this company. They do not respect employees, and every manager works with the fear of being fired at some point. I don't recommend thins company to anyone, it is not worth your time and energy, the pay is very low for the stress and pressure they put on you. Most of the upper management are bullies, and HR department is a joke. 
The jewelry is cheap and poor quality, and most probably made in China.
