Working at Hermes

[thereallouis]

They get 30 % off leather goods, scarves and ties. Some bags.
Once a year, there is a day where they get more off scarves. C'est tout!

thats nothing compared to LV SAs! chanel SAs come off quite well too.
but i suppose it is just a retail job, even if it is high end.

thanks for so many tips but I still did not find out the website where you can apply. I am used to work with VIP clients by arranging privet jets and very complicated holidays and events. The recent one is the photoshooting in Moscow with all those models and fashion clothes from a dutch high couture

^^^ maybe worth calling your SA to find out

 

[cherry pie]

dutchglory, have you tried looking to see if H has a corporate website?
or contact them via the website and they should be able to tell you more.

Cool job (sounds a bit stressful though)!

 

[ardneish]

I think you have too have two years retail experience at high end store

And frankly the salary you would get paid would no way help buy a Hermes Bag
They get paid peanuts

standing all day isn't my cup of tea. I prefer to be the customer .

They also get to choose a new accessory (including scarves) a year, and they have to wear it in the store. But they have to continue to be in the employment of Hermes for many months after the day of receiving from their manager, before their accessories become really theirs.

You have to be with the company 2 years before you can order a bag.

I just don't think I can handle a customer like me on a regular basis. LOL!

 

[Rachelle]

I dont think that I'll be able to afford H bags if i work as a SA.
I assume that SAs might only get slightly above minimum wage + commission?
But yea, i would love to play wif the bags and meet celebrities, LOL.

 

[thereallouis]

Naw...they make more than minimum.

 

[Rachelle]

That's good to hear.
Being a SA isnt easy.

 

[thereallouis]

Nope, it is not.


That being said, be nice to people who work in retail. They are people too. Just because someone might be behind that cashwrap doesn't mean they are not good. They could be doctors/lawyers/students wanting a little extra or that fabby discount.

::getting off soap box::

 

[Rachelle]

Yea, that's true.
I've known a SA who has a degree in Chemistry,
and she just love working in retail.

Most SAs that I've met r soo enthusiastic,
even tho they had been standing for hrs while serving customers.
