Pros

None I can think of

Cons

- One of the most toxic workplaces I ever worked at - Salary was extremely low and miserable $7/hr - Staff expected to help unload and unpack at warehouse at odd hours like 10pm- midnight - Very limited toilet and food breaks, nearest toilet was infested with cockroaches - No place to sit, forced to stand for hours on end - Forced to carry heavy barrels of water - Boss stopped giving me work without reason, after I quit, the boss defamed me and told everyone that I didn't attend to a secret shopper as I was busy attending to a customer (totally made up story from my perspective and was never once communicated to me directly by management, showing how untrue this was) - A lot of negative energy and hatred towards competitors like The Body Shop - Colleagues very clique-ish and some are like bullies - No recognition/rewards despite pulling in top sales

Pros

Excellent inclusive company culture, employee discount, learning about natural ingredients for skincare, genuinely great and engaged team members, flexible work schedule for part time or casual positions.

Cons

High amount of work, unreasonable "evidence driven" feedback and coaching models, and unrealistic performance metrics for comically low pay, especially for floor coordinators. No additional pay given for specialty roles, which is many enhanced responsibilities over a specific area of the business, and little opportunity for career growth beyond the sales floor unless you are hired from an external management position. Floor Coordinator seems to be the highest rung most people can hit before being driven elsewhere.
