I would not recommend anyone work at Frank Darling - Bench Jeweler Frank Darling Employee Review

Talented and smart senior management and team members, which is important as its a smaller, collaborative environment. A relatively new and evolving company, so there is non-stop opportunity for career growth and to try new things. The founders care about their employees and the company's culture and it shows. Overall its a wonderful place to work and gain experience!

Not really a con, but like all companies in the engagement ring/fine jewelry space, the busy season is around the holidays.

There are some talented people on the team but the founders are not willing to pay a fair wage to keep them around.

So much disorganization and lack of communication between departments. The client experience really suffers because of this and there were constant daily fires to put out with frustrated customers. It would take much of my day to stay on top of all the missteps- between CAD design, procurement, shipping and the final customer experience handoff, many things fall through the cracks along the way. Management refuses to hold people accountable, leading to different departments pointing fingers at each other. Everyone seems to be in self preservation mode, and this creates tension in the workplace. As others have said, the founders (married couple- and yes very passive aggressive) have no idea how to run a jewelry business and it shows. Management is totally unresponsive to feedback (which is strange for a startup) and gave little feedback and zero coaching. The sales goals are outrageous and completely unattainable. I was working 50 hour weeks on salary with no thank you’s. You are but a number there so be prepared to be treated that way. I wish I read all the horrible Google reviews from frustrated customers before accepting this job.
