During the interview, I was told a story about a 25-year-old. The story doesn't matter much, but what does is that I was told that they "took a chance" hiring someone 25 because they "don't really hire that young." They told that to me, who was interviewing at age 22. When I was told that I would not be receiving an offer, it was due to the store just opening and they didn't want to "over-hire." That's a bit ironic, considering they're still constantly hiring for the position almost a year later.
I was explained that Diamonds Direct pays with a draw against commission structure. Essentially, they pay you a "base" amount plus commission, but that "base rate" is actually your commission as well. That being said, you have to train for around three months where you can't sell anything. You still make the "base" amount, but once you start making commission, you won't see that commission until you've earned back everything you were paid previously. Also, if you don't sell enough to make up for what you were paid, you write the company a check at the end of the year. I was told no one has ever had to do that, though.
