Pros

Gratis and make friends. That's all.

Cons

Elite selling culture, dont expect hours except during holidays and semi annual, unpredictable schedule with call ins, if any life changes happen expect to not have a job. These are just the surface of a very ugly company. I used to be the 3rd best seller and got 26 hours a week. When I got pregnant they cut my hours so now in I'm only working once a week! I tried bringing this to management's attention and their response was "it's happening to everyone"...I call BS because the new manager hired a crap ton of people. If there were no hours to give why did she hire all these new people!? On top of all this, only a few accommodations were made for me....it was called not scheduling me, because apparently that's what you do to pregnant women. Such a terrible, anti-pregnant women company. Avoid this company of you plan on starting a family!

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.
