Pros

Support for manager and tools for success . Store remodels are lovely

Cons

Company is hiring externally from Walmart of all places to run stores. Brand expects managers to give 40 hours selling also to make schedule and task off floor while maintaining sales goals unrealistically. Will Term associates for the smallest and undisclosed policy violations regardless of tenure. Quite sad to see where this company has turned after change in selling culture.

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.
