Pros

Reasonable hours, as the store is located in a mall. Fair compensation and benefits package, including 401k for Team Leads. Fantastic tea, easy-to-learn sales process, and a great group of salespeople. Also, it's a great job if you want a challenge everyday in terms of keeping up with sales goals and helping lots of different kinds of people. Additionally, advancement opportunities are well within the reach of anyone who is interested in 'climbing' the corporate ladder.

Cons

Sometimes the pressure to keep numbers up can be a bit stressful, like any job, and mall work does come with some downsides, but overall, this is a great job for someone interested in a retail job with many, many opportunities for advancement.

Pros

Teavana has a really great atmosphere, and attracts unique individuals both as customers and as employees. You have the opportunity to learn about a lot of different aspects of tea, if you choose to pursue it. You also have the opportunity to learn a lot about customer service and selling skills, if you choose to pursue that as well. Teavana also has a good benefits package, and offers health and a 401k package to part-time employees as well.

Cons

The effort you have to put in to working at Teavana - just the sheer product knowledge alone - is quite high for what they pay. The bonus does not significantly make up for the low hourly. The most difficult part is dependent upon your management. The area manager has the opportunity to put a lot of stress directly on the store manager, and that can trickle down. If you're considering a job with Teavana, ask the current employees for honesty regarding the work environment.
