Good work environment, but pay is poor - Sales Associate Pandora Jewelry Employee Review

I liked the company. It was cool

No complaints here, cool location.

Customers, pay, benefits. That’s it

Little to no training. Instead of allowing me to complete all of my online training courses I was directed to constantly shadow staff on the sales floor. I wasn’t properly shown how to use the scheduling system or given the how to guides within proper timing. So I was trained on how to be a sales associate not a store manager. Then thrown into my permanent location during Valentine’s holiday. So I had to learn a lot in a short amount of time with no real help or guidance. District manager was very overwhelming and overbearing. Highschool mined staff who start drama and rumors. Staff also had a major entitlement issue, someone wanted the manger position but didn’t get it I guess. No one is genuine there or trying to help you as a new manager. There’s a strict phone policy however, main comms happen on your phone so the policy is highly contradictory. If you’re not overly chipper and a yes man your Dm won’t like you and may say something like “I don’t think you’re a good fit here” after your first meeting, they make you feel very uncomfortable. It was so bad the Macys workers would ask me if I was ok when my Dm wasn’t around!! The energy is really bad here RUN!
