      Pros

      Nice discount Good base pay plus commission Lots of cute girls Free fitness classes That's really about where it ends.

      Cons

      LONG shifts with only a short break Criticism and micro-management disguised as "feedback" Not allowed to sit or have a "slouchy" posture Required to speak to every guest about whatever piece of clothing they are holding Serious company Kool-Aid (look at the manifesto) Pressure to do company stuff off the clock (events, classes, goal setting, etc) Boring when it's slow, high pressure to sell when it's busy Overall, this job sucked. You definitely have to be a super bubbly, OMG-I-lovelovelove-that-top type person to work there. Wasn't for me.

      Pros

      1. the company attracts amazing people - both as employees, ambassadors and customers 2. you will learn so much about yourself, about business, about the world 3. free yoga, great discount (though there is an unspoken assumption that you will constantly buy new product and market the company through your yoga class attendance) 4. there are interesting training and development opportunities 5. the passion within the organization is amazing - so many dedicated people! 6. you have a safe place to learn what to do (and what not to do) when running a business

      Cons

      This is a public company and their responsibility is to make money for their share holders - which is felt by employees: 1. you have to work a lot!! a lot of hours, a lot of weekends, a lot of holidays. all the time! stores, regions, and the support centre are often short staffed and people are doing 2-3 people's jobs. 2. transparency is a lark - senior management makes it seem like there is transparency through "internal communications", but all communication is cleverly and intentionally designed. always read between the lines! 3. people are pushed beyond what is possible and are then "performance managed" out of their roles. people are truly expected to be "perfect" (then the company can't understand why their turnover is high, and people don't want to recommend it as a place to work). 4. there are "favorites" and politics imbedded very deeply in the organization. 5. the highly touted "entrepreneurial manager" is a guise
