Pros

Fantastic ethical outlook, great 50% discount, can be fun, interesting interactive environment. Daily positive customer interactions, high pay, entertaining, a unique experience.

Cons

Disorganised management, lack of respect and voice for SAs, pushy customer service approach, mentally draining, no 'off' days (always required to be 100% upbeat), cliquey, severe lack of communication amongst management, favouritism, huge waste of product daily at back-of-house, deafening music (can't hear self or customers), severe lack of positive reinforcement for hardworking SAs, lack of incentive, incentives removed (including full external 'fun' training days), bullying by supervisors, pressure, SAs treated like children, SAs not supported by management even when filing complaint or asking for help, lack of security (!) and more. As another recent reviewer has said, a lot has changed recently for the worse and management is terrible.

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.
