Part Time (Current Employee), Tampa District. – May 12, 2013
Pros: nothing.
Cons: it's sad.
A typical day at work is not Fun. You come in to a very disorganized and unfriendly Workplace. Computer are not worker friendly. Empty garbage. Guess where merchandise goes where. Deal with a by-polar manager. Very poor training program. Asst Manager hung over. Fat cats at the top make money by taking commissions. You starve. pressured by unrealistoc – more... goals and an unrealistic goal system. Limited merchandise in the store. You cannot buy an engagement ring to take home today. You are pressured to sell ESP, PPP plus. Pressure to sell anything and everything. Better merchandise at K Mart, as one customer told me today. same customer told me, the manager stole my sale. I should beat him up. Tell the customer what they want, instead of listening to the customer. One co-worker grunts at you. One is obese. They fired an Asst. Manager who appeared dedicated. Hardest part, dealing with management. Laughable training in Sarasota. They re in the process of hiring one of the Gay Village People for an Asst. Manager Position. The most enjoyable part, GOING HOME. Disrespectful. – less
Thank you for being honest with yourself and with us, the prospective employees. I was looking to obtain employment with Sterling Co. which bought the former company I was working with for some time as a store manager. It looks like they have bought the right company because you just described the company that was bought by Sterling/Kay jewelers! The company they bought had the same unrealistic goals, in one month my goals were raised by 36%, bipolar managers, tantrums and tiaras, dishonest employees, thieves that were dismissed and then rehired. I was terminated making goals on everything, all standards, for the reason that I have had a pocket knife in the stock room! I guess smart, hard-working people are a real threat for those at the other end of the moral spectrum. Thank you for being brave. No human should go through indignities for a handful of dollars!

Temporary Worker (Current Employee), Akron, OH – August 2, 2012
Pros: a restaurant inside its called diamond grille
Cons: temp. worker so no benefits or raises
I would go into work and I would get a box or watches and ticket or re-ticket all the watches in the box. I learned a lot about different types of watches and some jewelry. The management was okay they are somewhat friendly don't talk and help out much. The co-workers are awsome very friendly and helping. The hardest part of the job is when we have – more... to stand on the sorter for a couple of hours it makes some people sick. I most i enjoy about working at sterling is the friendliness that they have because i'm very friendly and its like perfect. – less
