        Pros

        Lots of great benefits, including a lot of free products, spa treatments, chances to travel (I was sent to Australia for a month to work). Great ethics and values you can believe in.

        Cons

        Work life balance can suffer as hours can be long and include out of hours parties, social media management, etc. Pay not great and feels like advancing with company requires even greater sacrifice of work/life balance.

                        London Living Wage Good support (only from management in my store, they were great!) 50% discount Loved who I worked with. Good work/life balance

                        Cons

                        Complaints are not dealt with properly. Can be draining and quite tiring. Retailers/Upper management have favourites and its toxic. If you arent a manager or trainee, forget about being heard by anyone. Didnt want to move up in the company as found the interview process unnecessary and dated, almost pitting people against eachother. Didnt have an actual HR department so made things very complicated.

                      Recruiter

                      What are your thoughts on companies requesting references before scheduling an interview? Recently got a request for an interview but the instructions were to provide 3 references first.
