Toxic environment with unrealistic expectations and low pay - Sales Assistant Jewells Employee Review

Good pay and team work

This company will drive your mental health through the walls. I’ve been a team player throughout my career but it’s unbelievable to work around a CEO who dims your light. They want nothing but a solid working day with shaky foundations that barely hold the business together. There is no love or appreciation with the work you’re producing, I used to love coming to the office but now I count my days. I just hope this company and the executive officer can appreciate the people who shape and build the company. Without us the business would crumble. There are a fair share of hard workers who aren’t recognised for their talents but only judged for their mistakes. If you want grey hair at a young age please apply for a role here.

The people at the time who were smart like me and got out.

Read the very first review on glassdoor for Jewells and it's 100% correct. My mental health severely declined working for this company with SO many promises made that fell through or fell short. I understood it was a brand new business but it felt mismanaged, no one ever knew what was going on, LACK of communication was severe, constant VM/building updates (yes quite literally pulling walls apart/drilling) occuring during opening times which scared off the customers and caused confusion as to what our brand actually was/represented and don't even get me started on the "training" provided to us to pierce peoples ears. I was told to suck it up and go stick needles in peoples ears/noses/bellys NEVER having done any piercing training on anything but lobes. (I got to pierce two lobes and was told i was good to go) I hope its getting better for the team who is are still there's sake but my gosh is my mental health back to normal after leaving such a disorganised mess. Oh and PS: if you are intraverted, don't look like Molly Mae or don't have an OUT there personality with jazz hands and a fake smile on ur face everyday, you won't get far, even if ur damn good at ur job (top salesperson for instance) Thank gosh i got out when i did...
