Lush reviews

Absolutely appalling management. They preferred people and made it clear even when offering shifts to be covered - it wasn't first come first served, but whoever is liked the most by management. Bullying, racism, general avoidance of all the Lush ethics (I was told to change who I am to continue working with them).

Micro-management with a whole meta-team of supervisors just watching you sell stuff to make comments is quite stressful. No break on a five hour shift once over the age of eighteen, which is exhausting when you're on your feet and constantly approaching and being bubbly. Occasional concerns about sexual harassment from customers weren't taken very seriously by management. I felt quite uncomfortable advocating the cult of Lush to all the young girls coming in: "I need to put a picture of Intergalactic on Instagram!!!" It is difficult to fit in around study; minimum of two days a week and compulsory staff training and stock take one night most weeks of the month; my schoolwork definitely suffered. It needs to be the main priority of your life. I'd get headaches quite a bit from the intense smell. I felt the need to have my skin looking very good and felt quite conscious of my appearance.
