Pros

50% discount and very accommodating staff. Lush are really paving the way forward in equality and diversity and although I didn't personally benefit from this, the staff and company policies are really generous. The work wasn't particularly stress full either - delivery days were busy and Christmas was pretty nightmarish but Jan - November, fine.

Cons

I was restricted on speaking to customers and actively told not to do so. That then went onto being told not to speak to other members of staff unless it's about the work. I felt like an unvalued cog, and the workload was made out to be far more stressful than it was - I had days so quiet that I cleaned out all the cabinets in the back and bleached them. Not part of job description, just something to do.

Hello, Thank you for your honest review here and I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at Lush. There is a lot of cleaning involved in the role that you were doing, it's important to us that our fresh products are stored in the best condition possible, but understand that this is not always the best part of the role. Thank you for taking the time to respond, your feedback is really valuable to us.

Pros

Store Managers are always highly supportive and friendly. As retail sales assistants, we are all trained to be friendly and supportive of each other, and cultivate a fun and welcoming environment, to welcome our guests and cater for them in the best way possible. The lovely retail staff are a big reason why this job is fun. This job requires you to learn the details of the products in order to convey them accurately to the consumer. It also requires you to manually demonstrate the product on the consumer or in the shop. This job is great for you to practise thinking on the spot when greeting and dealing with customers. The more sales you make, the more you can get a small monthly bonus.

Cons

Some days, the hours get very long and tiring - it's manual work on your feet for the day after all. As retail sales assistants, we aren't given much of a break time. For a full 8-hour work period, we get 50 minutes break-time - and depending on how many staff are there on the day, it's not as flexible to divide into small breaks to your preference.

Pros

Flexible hours and days. London Living wage employer. great discount.

Cons

Mixed feelings. A lot has changed recently. Very different from working in any other Lush Shop. Management need to sort themselves out. Very unorganised. Standards have dropped with new staff and no training is being given before they go out onto the shop floor.
