Pros

Pay. Discounts. Free Items.

Cons

Management only care about sales. They will criticize you in front of other employees. If you don't rub every customers hands with lotion, you will be "coached". Teamwork doesn't exist in this company. It is each for it's own and very competitive. At closing, you are expected to have the store in pristine condition, signs changed, registers counted, items relocated all within 30-45 minutes which is extremely unrealistic and stressful.

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.
