Pros

I'm regularly challenged in my role, and have opportunities for growth! This company treats it's employees well, and gives them the tools they need to succeed. They give free products for employees to try and improve product knowledge. They set realistic sales targets that make bonuses more achievable. They put the customer as number 1. Best job I've ever had!

Cons

On calls, while common in retail (in order to meet business needs), are not a favourite among staff, although they are kept to a minimum.

Pros

Great staff, really beautiful arrangements visually in-store. They have some great products that you get to pre-view and receive free as"gratis" The hours go by fast, and 90% of the customers are fantastic and realllllly love the products. You will not need a gym membership no matter what else you get a workout for 8 hours a day five days a week

Cons

There isn't consistency in what exactly you are accountable for, the expectations of what you're to bring to the table change very quickly and they management are forever micro managing the day to day running of every store. Twice daily contact with DM's if not more just talking planned goals with made up numbers that are suppose to reflect how many people, for example might walk into your store- Floor changes and update will kill your free time on Sundays and random weeknights which impacts your work/life balance.
