Pros

The emphasis on creating a more immersive and engaging shopping experience means it’s a much more interesting retail role than the majority of ones on the high street.

Cons

How the candy shop reports are graded (including approaching customers so quickly) can make it difficult for sales associates to balance management demands with customers comfort. Incredibly limited career opportunities to move outside of store roles.

Pros

Excellent inclusive company culture, employee discount, learning about natural ingredients for skincare, genuinely great and engaged team members, flexible work schedule for part time or casual positions.

Cons

High amount of work, unreasonable "evidence driven" feedback and coaching models, and unrealistic performance metrics for comically low pay, especially for floor coordinators. No additional pay given for specialty roles, which is many enhanced responsibilities over a specific area of the business, and little opportunity for career growth beyond the sales floor unless you are hired from an external management position. Floor Coordinator seems to be the highest rung most people can hit before being driven elsewhere.
