Pros

Very flexible scheduling which is perfect for students. Used to give lots of gratis (freebies). 30% employee discount at BBW, White Barn, Victoria Secret (extra 10% during the holidays for a limited time). Most coworkers are amazing. Excellent experience for customer service and time management.

Cons

Hours are given to top sellers only. Often short staffed and will be playing several roles. Several cut shifts which are often last minute. Typical retail holiday hours (crazy 6pm-2 am) during Thanksgiving- Black Friday. Company is VERY money centered. Fragrances are OFTEN recycled or slightly "spruced" up and associates are supposed to support/fake it's new-ness.

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.
