Woes of a stock boy - Stock Assistant Lush Employee Review

Pros

50% discount and very accommodating staff. Lush are really paving the way forward in equality and diversity and although I didn't personally benefit from this, the staff and company policies are really generous. The work wasn't particularly stress full either - delivery days were busy and Christmas was pretty nightmarish but Jan - November, fine.

Cons

I was restricted on speaking to customers and actively told not to do so. That then went onto being told not to speak to other members of staff unless it's about the work. I felt like an unvalued cog, and the workload was made out to be far more stressful than it was - I had days so quiet that I cleaned out all the cabinets in the back and bleached them. Not part of job description, just something to do.

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.
