Pros

The discount was pretty much the only redeemable thing about the job.

Cons

Poor management, disorganization, lack of communication, no proper feedback or help provided, poor training, "threw you in the fire", management talked down to employees, rude customers. It seemed as though there was no order to what they were doing, and didn't have any time for their employees whatsoever. Simple things such as getting a lock for your locker and getting your nametag seemed impossible to get from them. They did not explain anything in training and just threw you out there, and gave no feedback, good or bad. I couldn't even use my discount for the time I worked there; they messed something up and I could never get it fixed. Not a very pleasant work experience. As an employee, I felt jipped.

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.
