Pros

gain experience in sales, gain familiarity with all of the products, gain experience operating cash registers and cleaning, decent employee discount, resetting for each new season or sale was my favorite part of the job

Cons

If there are no customers in the store, it is extremely boring and all you do is straighten the rows of products. There were no benefits for part-time employees at all except free samples on occasion. The two managers I worked under were passionate about their jobs, but not very competent. That job convinced me I needed a college degree so I wouldn't have to stock shelves for the rest of my life.

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.
