Pros

Nice 50% discount off the products! I've worked in two Lush stores and one was a lot more chilled than the other which was nice.

Cons

Complete favouritism from management that they don't even try to hide. I was made to pounce on customers as soon as they walked in the door- even the ones that clearly didn't want to be approached which felt extremely awkward. If they said "I'm just looking", which is usually code for "I just want to shop in peace", then we were told to keep upselling anyhow.

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.
