Pros

When I first started and up until very recently I loved my job and had a very positive experience. Overall I would say this is a great job. Not very much fair offering of promotions to employees in my opinion. This is a very good job but I am starting to feel burned out from doing the same things for years. This is a good job if you want to work some place fun and bubbly. One great thing about working here is that they are VERY flexible and understanding with school, other jobs, and request for time off.

Cons

female dominated workplace can sometimes cause drama, low pay, easy to get burned out, gossiping , the occasional rude and condescending manager, politics of getting promoted/lack of opportunity for advancement. Again, I believe this to be conditional to the store as well as the district so depending on where you live your experience could be completely different.

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.
