Pros

- opportunities to move up based on good performance - lots of employee training and education - lots of gratis

Cons

- hours (not very flexible and often worked overtime- which is bad if you have a family or are going to school- good if you're looking to make more money) - pay for the amount of work they want from this position- it was basically being manager without the pay or title while management got away with doing less (at least in my experience). - retaliation was a problem at least within my store/district - meeting or exceeding sales goals never seemed to be good enough, district leaders often made you feel like you weren't good enough at your job.

Pros

Most of my coworkers were amazing, fun people to work with. I love all of the products especially the candles, which makes selling to customers easy since the enthusiasm is real.

Cons

At the holidays I had requested a full week off around Christmas. Right before, they told me I was going to have to come in for Floor Set on Christmas Eve which I told them I was not going to since I had requested and approved my time off way before. After the holidays were over, they took away most of my hours because I wasn't "committed enough". This was supposed to be a part-time job for me while I was in college, but any time like this where I did not prioritize the store before anything else I was punished for it. The manager also did not notify me of this schedule change - I just came back from holidays and I did not get scheduled for weeks except for Floor Sets until I went to speak to the manager myself.

Pros

They pay pretty well

Cons

Worst place ever!! Clique place and then you get hired and work 4 days and then they never schedule you and then you try to speak with your manger about hours and she brushes you off. Manager never contacted me and just took me out of the system. So unprofessional!!!
