Pros

The work is fun and there sales training works. It is a company with high expectations and personal accountability but with recognition and encouragement such as with contests or bonuses. If you show leadership ability and willingness to learn you can move up. Pay is not great for an associate but as you move up it is very fair. They pay quite well for those with proven experience and those who are not afraid to show inititive. The discount is good 30% for associates and 40% for upper management or the current sale, whichever is greater.

Cons

Low salary for starting associates. Reviews are only done once a year. If you start less than ninty days before the review you are bumped to the next review in January.

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.
