Pros

Discounts on full priced items.

Cons

-Absolutely NO work/life balance. This company expects you to slave for very low pay considering how much of your time is asked and how overworked you are especially during holiday season. -Management acts like you are in the military. It's one thing to be strict and hold your employees at high expectations but they have a very "holier than thou" mentality and treat workers beneath them. -Hours are horrid, yet complaining about being understaffed at high volume stores. -Barely any training at all and if you are hired for holiday season? Good luck. You'll get eaten alive but customers and managers who will yell at you for not knowing things THEY did not properly teach you. -Working Semi-Annual in June and than right after holiday season in January will be one of the worst experiences of your working life.

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.
