Van Cleef & Arpels

A unique working environment and company. Somewhat bureaucratic in structure because of the corporate ownership, but the people within are skilled, hard-working, intelligent, friendly and interesting. You will learn a lot from your position and interacting with other departments. There are opportunities to shine, and opportunities to be one of the team. Although people do move on to other roles outside of the company, many stay for much of their careers. Benefits are good, both the standard as well as fringe benefits. Travel varies depending on your role, but can be nationally or abroad. Lots of interaction with other brands under the parent company. 

I was hired through a friend at GIA and was so fortunate to work for such an amazing company.  Though it was a corporation, it didn't feel that way.  We worked as a team and I made close friends that I still see today.  
The designs of VCA were a work of art and beautiful in workmanship.  From display to selling I was taught the proper way to be in retail sales that I carried on to all my other jobs.

Big plus was the flexibility for time off.  Medical and dental insurance was good too as well as the HSA bonus. I enjoyed the management at my location and the coworkers that I had. 

Only trouble was the clients and the service expectation when dealing with repairs. The repair services would often upset clients and leave me feeling uncomfortable but it is part of the job.

This company is an okay company, pretty slow paced the customers can be nice, very nice luxury jewelry. Managers are okay, overall satisfied with this company. The hardest part is standing there for a long period of time with dress shoes, not the most comfortable position. staff can be uptight.

A great experience within a prestigious Parisian jewelry house, but a very demanding sector that requires high multi-tasking abilities. A passion for jewelry and craftsmanship is crucial to work there.

Great company to work for. Lots of training!!  This is one of the top luxury house of jewelers in the world, so I a way you feel privileged to work here. The commission structure is decent. 

At this time I do not wish to disclose any further information about the company which I worked for. 
I don't see any need or necessity for this survey and very time consuming.

I was hired as a PM consultant, I was only there for a short time however I enjoyed going to work and being part of such an inspiring team and environment.  Great energy!

Underpaid as much of luxury / fashion / cosmetics is. The company itself is lovely - very inspiring. Upper management is overall smart / reliable and helpful.

It is a great company to work for but the clients are not always nice. The payment could be better for the amount of money that we are making to them.
