Pros

I love the product and the company originally had really great values, incentives and treated their employees with respect.

Cons

In the past year this company has really gone in a downward spiral as far as the way they treat the people that drive their business and make them millions a year. They watch us on cameras instead of actually coaching us face to face anymore, they drive us through negative reinforcement and have most people in fear of being written up for minuscule things like 100% demoing, or 100% conversion which are both absolutely ridiculous. They drive their employees through fear now instead of driving them with positive coaching, regular feedback and positivity.

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.
