Reviews about "staff discount"
Return to all Reviews- 2.0Sept 21, 2022Shop Floor Sales AssistantFormer Employee, less than 1 yearCoventry, England
Pros
Good staff benefits and discounts.
Cons
Very pushy on making sales, has a daily sales target which is reviewed every hour with each of the sales assistant being called at the back one by one every hour and briefed: average items in basket per head, clients in/out, how much has been sold etc. You feel pressurised to approach and try to sell products within 15 seconds of the customer entering and to repeatedly offer them help even if they previously have said they don't need help. This and other experiences that happened during my time at LUSH made the time there not so enjoyable.

- 3.0Mar 11, 2019Anonymous EmployeeFormer EmployeeCardiff, Wales
Pros
The company is popular and the 50% staff discount is worth it. Along with new release boxes and we had lots of training.
Cons
The management was very unprofessional, actively pulling people off the shop floor to shout at them and always praising their favourites. There was extreme pressure to upsell and be happy 24/7 which can become very mentally draining. Christmas was awful, there was no space to even breathe and so much pressure from management with little or no praise for making it through the busiest days of the year. The atmosphere felt very 'catty' at times with many managers acting like schoolgirls.
