Pros

Pay and discounts are great, employee recognition from corporate is amazing they care and want to hear from the stores. Work life balance is way better than most companies. Products are fun,

Cons

Most of the Store managers are lazy and sit in the backroom for most of the day but take credit for the co-managers and sales leads hard work. Room for advancement is slim due to the fact that most store managers and district managers have been with the company for a long time and are comfortable in their roles. In general there is a lot of gossiping. I personally am a deidcated and hard worker but am very true to who I am and because I am not a gossiper who likes to be fake to the people around me I am precieved to have low confidence when I can run circles around 95% of the people that work in my area. A lot of people in this company talk a lot of game but do not produce but continue to work here because they can talk the lingo and some dms dont think to look past the words and analyze the business.

Pros

Great brand to work for! Corporate leaders are great at motivating team down to associate level. (Not sure about Daniel yet though, I’m mostly referring to the tentured leadership team) There’s access to tools that offer clear communication (almost too much communication sometimes). Development is the core of this brand and managers are trained to foster internal talent when it’s identified. The product sold here is cherished by a huge fanbase as well- customers feed off of the excitement the associates have around the product.

Cons

Operationally demanding and challenging; don’t underestimate how much labor and planning goes into selling candles and lotion.
