Pros

- relatively easy responsibilities, quick learning curve - 40% off store products, is a nice option for gifts or personal use - smelling candles

Cons

- the hours as stock associate were often early (7 am) to pick up shipments - this didn't seem necessary, 8 or 9 am shipments would have worked equally as well as they were delivered in the back away from customers - some coworkers act like you are beneath them because you're stocking shelves vs. the glory of selling candles and soap - would often gossip while asking additional responsibilities of me (only some were like this, others were great) - the shifts were always 5 hours to avoid legally giving any form of break

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.
