Pros

Fun environment during each quarter giving the store new themes and music play lists for us to dance and get through the day while taking care of customers. Opportunity to grow with the company. Created new Top Seller positions for people who are natural salesman/saleswomen. Emphasis on team building and coaching to make you the best you can be on the sales floor or behind the counter. Comfortable dress code for the type of work we do. Gratis product when new products come out.

Cons

Long hours on your feet. Inconsistent schedule times, but that’s retail life. Unrealistic conversion goals. Floorset hour budgets are unrealistic, usually never enough given to get the job done properly. High stress during holidays the higher volume the store. Unrealistic sales goals for management team that has other responsibilities that are in the back office. A lot of marketing changes every day or every few days.

Pros

Great brand to work for! Corporate leaders are great at motivating team down to associate level. (Not sure about Daniel yet though, I’m mostly referring to the tentured leadership team) There’s access to tools that offer clear communication (almost too much communication sometimes). Development is the core of this brand and managers are trained to foster internal talent when it’s identified. The product sold here is cherished by a huge fanbase as well- customers feed off of the excitement the associates have around the product.

Cons

Operationally demanding and challenging; don’t underestimate how much labor and planning goes into selling candles and lotion.
