Teavana reviews

Where to start-- *Your job is to literally intice people into the store from the mall, lead them around the store, serving samples as you recite an elaborate sales script about the benefits of tea, with an ENORMOUS corporate pressure on selling the ridiculously overpriced cast-iron tea sets or equally overpriced tea, a feat on which you are ranked, rated and eventually fired or kept. *Most of the potential customers will be interested until they see the pricetags *Your fellow employees and even managers will compete with you and "steal" your sales by coming over and pulling your people away or even ringing up your sale under their employee ID (I saw this done dozens of times, it really happens) *You will be paid just barely above minimum wage, SO much less than what you're going to be earning for this company with your $500-sales *You might be written up and/or terminated for not selling a particular amount of something-- teapots, tea, sugar, whatever. I was. *You will never be able to pass a Teavana without pitying the kids working the cart outside (who, by the way, are constantly changing at all locations I frequently pass by) because of the miserable working conditions *You are worth absolutely NOTHING to your coworkers, your managers, your store or this company. We didn't even have a refrigerator or microwave or a single chair to sit on in our back room, we never had any perks for working there other than the discount, it's just awful. I wouldn't let my dog apply to work at a Teavana.
