Pros

+discount +get dibs on new products +get free products when new items come out +good if you want a little extra cash

Cons

+almost NO hours +CALL INS- this is the biggest waste of time. You can't make any plans on days that you have scheduled call ins and then you need to call the store an hour before and see if they need you (they never need you when you haven't made plans and when you have plans they ALWAYS use your call in) +you really don't get paid much per hour and until you are a co or store manager you don't even get any benefits at all +you get forced to bombard people and get them to buy more stuff even if you hate having people do it to you +floorsets are a pain and your availability excludes them so you will still get scheduled for them even if you cannot work on sundays

Pros

Great brand to work for! Corporate leaders are great at motivating team down to associate level. (Not sure about Daniel yet though, I’m mostly referring to the tentured leadership team) There’s access to tools that offer clear communication (almost too much communication sometimes). Development is the core of this brand and managers are trained to foster internal talent when it’s identified. The product sold here is cherished by a huge fanbase as well- customers feed off of the excitement the associates have around the product.

Cons

Operationally demanding and challenging; don’t underestimate how much labor and planning goes into selling candles and lotion.
