Pros

Like the candles and aromatherapy products. When you made your month there was a , nice bonus, good benefits, decent discount, not much else. High stress position.

Cons

No work life balance, hectic, expectations are unreasonable with payroll given. Honestly I hated it by my 6th month. High stress lots of metrics to watch, wins were rarely acknowledged.

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.
