Pros

-The 30% Discount can be applied to any purchase. And you can get a discount at sister companies Victoria's Secret and The Limited

Cons

Hours are determined by the amount your store sells. This company is constantly about employees making sales, even though it's not commission. Doesn't care much about the employees. You'll only get hours if you're one of management's "favorites". I worked there for a couple of months, and wouldn't be in store for two or three weeks at a time because I wasn't on the elite list. Sometimes your shifts are cancelled and given to others...becuase they are favorites. Call Ins--tenative shifts...you have to call two hours before the shift to see if you're needed...hence you can't plan anything ahead of time. They also take everything they have out of you physically, with constant floor changes and set ups, that can go until dawn.

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.
