Pros

Love most of the products. 50% off was awesome

Cons

Way too sales driven. It's like being on commission without getting paid for it. (except hookas and salt stones which has a very minor payout) This is basically a gift store; you can't just convince someone to buy a bali mask or hookah. There was so much pressure to constantly bombard the customers with attention. Most people just want to have space and shop. I was forced to lie about products such as the Himalayan salt stone lamp. It's been proven to be nothing more than a pretty glowing rock. It doesn't have any legitimate health benefits. I felt horrible having to convince people to buy them who wanted to invest for real breathing problems. We were also told to tell people that we are a fair trade store when we are NOT. Clothing was way too overpriced. You can find most of their clothing styles at Goodwill for cheap. Management was very immature and had an obvious attitude problem. TONS of theft.
