Pros

The West Edmonton Mall shop in particular is nothing short of a joke. The current manager, has no spine whatsoever. What a lovely woman , but you have no business in managing anything. Your MIT, even worse. Incompetent doesn’t even begin to describe this store. If you’re looking for a job to loathe, and turn you into the worst version of yourself, make sure you apply to the West Edmonton Mall location. The whole thing is a sinking ship. This store needs to dissolve because I don’t think there is any saving it. Your “leaders” should not even legally be allowed to own a fish, let alone manage a group of actual people. Borderline abusing the few employees who aren’t a train wreck and making them take on a work load of 3 people, and rewarding them a nicely wrapped gift of NOTHING for it. You could call out 2 seconds before the start of your shift several times a month and no one will bat an eye and every employee who is actually capable of doing their job will suffer for it. The memes about LUSH employees exist for a reason. Someone will literally wake up and decide their chakras didn’t align that day and call in to work. Uh oh- a customer had attitude? Better go cry about it in the back room for an hour and then go home. Working here was a fever dream- I actually could not believe my eyes and ears every single day I walked through those doors. They actively seek out employing people who are barely functional human beings.

Cons

Hmm, let’s see… everything was terrible!

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.
