Pros

We get a 40% discount on all store merchandise. Hours are flexible. There are some really cool, smart and fun-loving EMPLOYEES at Teavana.

Cons

The sales structure is like retail on crack. Management gets on your case for not maximizing sales and pushing cast iron sales. It is very hard to get the monthly bonus when you are scheduled to work at times where there are very few customers. For example, if you only work weekday mornings, your numbers are worse than your colleagues who work on weekends during high volume sales. But this is not accounted for in the weekly reports or in consideration of the bonus.

Interview Process is way too long

Pros

The staff is very knowledgable about the products. THere is also an incentive to make your sales goal because you are awarded with a bonus.

Cons

The interview process took about a month which is really dumb for a part time job in the mall. It may be a sign of the times but that is just crazy.
