How does Signet handle HR issues?
They really don't do a very good job with HR issues. It depends on who you are if the managers are biased and behave unethically to benefit their own agenda. It is about impossible to contact the HR person in the corp office. I never had an issue but saw a LOT of those who did.

Why work for Signet?
I would not recommend working for signet. Pay is not equal to amount of knowledge and expertise needed for the sales job at store level. Managers are not fair most of the time. Commission based sales becomes very biased and leaves a lot of room for unethical practices. Managers do very little to set the tone to prevent this and in fact participate in helping those who are favorites.
What benefits does Signet provide?
health insurance, short term disability insurance, dental/vision insurance and a small life insurance policy
