Pros

50% discount good bonus's if you hit your monthly target. christmas time you can earn up to 20% more on top of wage. Flexible with staff hours well my shop was. Friendly lots of freebies

Cons

Product knowledge!! soooooo much stuff to learn, can be quite daunting when you first start. Also Lush are massive on mystery shoppers, i think you have one a month. easy to tell who they are though when they start asking what makes the bath bombs fizz and where we source ingredients from. Hard work!! mentally tiring always have to be upbeat with customers. Not enough pay for the amount of knowledge you have to remember. expected to demo all the time and push for add on sales. they encourage you to pounce on customers, can be quite off putting. Cleaning! I think I cleaned more in the shop than I did my own home.

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.
