      Let's face it, it's just lotion.

      Pros

      Except at Mother's Day and Holiday it's a fairly easy place to manage. You get to demo a lot of products and be hands on with the customers on a regular basis. The stores aren't huge so it's easy to keep everything under control and it's an easy store to close down at night. The company gives a lot of tools for product knowledge.

      Cons

      During peak the job becomes extremely hard physically. One bottle of lotion doesn't weigh much but a case of 36 does!! At Christmas much of the product has to be stored off-site and managers control the keys to those so much of the physical labor falls on them. The company is very into their coaching model and it can be very frustrating when you want to just say something instead you have to "ask vs tell" in a round about way. Sometimes communication isn't the most effective.
