Pros

Stable hours Good staff discount Relatively inclusive environment (look at cons) Good staff benefits like parental leave, LinkedIn Learning, days off for Birthdays, Right to Protest, etc Nice co-workers No personal KPIs, so stress free when working in-store Some workers in management do genuinely care about their employees

Cons

Despite being explicit about biases in things like DEI training, the managers in head office have ableist expectations of their workers, so really much like any corp it is just a facade. Beyond their stores in the suburbs, it serves a very gentrified rich white clientele so that likely speaks to this type of performative culture. I think the company lost its spark after the Estee Lauder takeover, and with how they treated the company’s own founder’s mental health crisis, it’s really more a better corp because of good staff benefits but still very much a corp type situation.

Pros

A company truly committed to and lives by its values its the first time I had seen that in retail . The company also stays on top of training in a structured and timely manner so you're always up to date and are given the proper information. Good pay as well, amazing discount this job is very interesting if you are passionate about cosmetics.

Cons

For me it was not having flexible hours

Pros

Overall a good company in the retail skincare space. Well organized corporate. Canadian own company. Honestly in these jobs what really makes or breaks it is your coworkers and manager. Good regional manager in the US. Great skincare for a good price and I stand by that even though I no longer work there.

Cons

It's retail, never enough money. No real growth if you're located in US
