Pros

The benefits are good, corporate office is new and in a nice location,

Cons

The first years of my career at Tiffany under Mike Kowalski were amazing. I had exceptional management and a steady career progression. Once Mike retired the new leadership destroyed the company culture and rejected tenured employees. New management is awful and they do not respect their employees. The work-life balance disappeared and it was expected that you stay until you collapsed. My boss routinely worked 7am-9pm every single day, even when she was out on maternity leave, which I believe is illegal. You are expected to "lean in" even though they pay peanuts. Be prepared to cry on a daily basis - the amount of crying that took place on the 10th, 11th & 13th floors is very telling. The way people speak to each other is full of condescending mean-girl attitudes. Management is so worried about their own jobs that they totally ignore their direct reports and are they are ostracized. The downfall of the stock over the last year is a huge tell to this sinking ship. Tiffany is famous for grossly under paying its employees and I had been told many times by HR that I was lucky to work there and that there were a line of girls out the door who would kill for my job. HR!

Pros

Great benefits and discounts. Beautiful product. Tools and resources are easy to use and locate.

Cons

After being acquired by LVMH, the company has turned to a primarily KPI-focused approach to training and coaching employees. They no longer offer in-depth training for new hires or continued learning for current employees. Major focus is placed in selling high jewelry and commission rates are low compared to other Maisons.
