Pros
You receive a 50% discount on full priced stock and there are incentives and vouchers for big sales as management is VERY money-driven
Cons
All retail jobs are stressful and pushy, but at Lovisa you are forced to attempt to sell multiple extra items to each customer and are given a warning if you fail to do so. You are also told you MUST wear five items of full priced jewellery, if you come to work without five pieces you must buy new pieces when your manager arrives. If it goes on sale you can't wear it anymore. This is NOT in the contract but is communicated to all employees by management and you will simply be dismissed if you don't comply. Lovisa has been sued by a former employee because of this, but continue to state that this is company policy. Dress code is extremely strict, no thin straps on clothing, no denim, no tights, no sandals, no leopard print, no tank tops. There are certain fabric prints that you are allowed to wear and you are pulled aside and given warnings if you don't adhere. If you have poor availability you will be removed from the roster. You must be able to come in to work with a few hours notice if someone fails to show up. This also includes traveling to other stores to work. You are not paid for travel time. When processing sales you must ask the customer to buy an extra item. If you don't do this you are given an official warning.
