Pros

Benefits, discount, great products to choose from if they are in stock

Cons

Too many chiefs, not enough indians, very few hours to give staff, managers called out for entire district to hear on voice mail if sales goals for the day are not met even if you made sales plan but maybe you didn't make how many units goal or convert enough people from lookers to buyers based on a tracking system that is inaccurate. If you did make all these goals, did you make your stretch goal? How high is high is the mantra. I swear if I hear any more BS buzz words or made up company BS buzz words my head will explode. Very low stock levels.

Pros

Great brand to work for! Corporate leaders are great at motivating team down to associate level. (Not sure about Daniel yet though, I’m mostly referring to the tentured leadership team) There’s access to tools that offer clear communication (almost too much communication sometimes). Development is the core of this brand and managers are trained to foster internal talent when it’s identified. The product sold here is cherished by a huge fanbase as well- customers feed off of the excitement the associates have around the product.

Cons

Operationally demanding and challenging; don’t underestimate how much labor and planning goes into selling candles and lotion.
