Pros

Lots of glitz and glam, smells good

Cons

No training, everyone gets annoyed if you ask a question. You get hired as a seasonal employee and only get asked to work on the busiest days like Black Friday and get yelled at for no reason. The managers turn over quickly and the one I worked for physically pushed me, which is why I had to resign. She didn’t even think she did anything wrong or apologize for it. It is extremely intense the entire shift, you have to be on the entire time and you still get yelled at. Working here comes at a huge cost to your dignity, mental and physical health with pay that is barely above the minimum wage.

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.
