Kay Jewelers Employer Reviews

I loved this company. It was usually a fun, family-like work environment. But, with all positions except for management being part time, almost minimum wage, with no benefits, it wasn't feasible to support my family. There's very little opportunity for advancement, and obviously way too much opportunity for sabotage between employees. I would've loved – more...  to make a career with this company, but that opportunity was not available to me. – less

For full-time employees, benefits are offered and are good. Chances for advancements are there and easy to obtain, training is excellent and compensations are good.

Depending on your DM it can be a blast!
Customer Service department backs you up most of the time
Learned a lot about jewelery and gemstones

it was a job i real didnt get to enjoy it because some of the eployees

I learned how to sell jewelers. Loved to make a customer Walk out of the store happy. The management was not good they do not know how to treat their employees.

Loved working here. I met a lot of new people on a daily basis. I would totally work here again. The sales requirements were easy

Kay has been great to work with for the let three years. The team work is great, the hours are easy and the experience helps in all aspects of life.

I loved Working here. I made a lot of life time friends. Benefits were great and the work was rewarding.

I Loved working for this company, but the manager was not very friendly and she would even step in on your sale. This was a pretty laid back store. We still had sales goals to meet, but over all it is a very fun job.

enjoyed this job very much this job had great job security and i was able to become a asst manger but did not feel this was the right job field for me. my typical day was to open the store and make sales

I learned a lot about myself and the product through this company, and I am an excellent salesperson because of it. I now know how to manage people, myself, and time because of the skills I have acquired by working with the individuals I have and still work with.

You are expendable and they don't feel they should pay you for the good work you do, you only get paid for what the position pays. Doing extra work goes unnoticed. And you are expected to work when they want you to as much as they want you to.

On a typical day at work I would:

 Established professional relationships with customers on a daily basis

 Drove revenue by consistently selling jewelry

 Maintained customers jewelry by polishing and refurbishing

sales, customer service, relationship development, custom design work. I learned and became a certified diamondtologist, acquired knowledge in metals, design techniques, styling and stone setting.

A typical day on the job consist of daily customer interaction, building a rapport and sales. You learn all about jewelry and new sales technique. The staff is very welcoming and eager to help aid in all aspects of customer service.

This company has many benefits. I have enjoyed my experience and would welcome the opportunity to relocate to one of its many locations.

I loved working for this jewelry store after graduating from high school! I first learned about jewelry, qualities and properties of gems and metals. I love gems and metals, it's such a fascinating topic! Mostly I sold jewelry each day, not really much else. My manager was awesome and I really formed a lasting frienship with her after leaving the company. – more...  My co-workers were very friendly, fun people and were very willing to share their knowledge of jewelry. The hardest part of the job was the schedule, I was in school full time and it was very difficult to balance the two. The thing I loved most about working here is learning about jewelry! – less

The starting pay is great here, but the management sucks. The managers work based on favoritism, not performance. The commission is very minimum and based on the store's overall sales, which sucks when you work in a store that is not in a mall setting and does not have many customers. The company, like all big companies, are focused on the numbers, – more...  not the employees or the effort they make given their circumstances. – less

Kay's is a great place to work I learned alot and got paid well.

Kays is performance driven and is geared to your advancement and development within the company.
