Pros

50% discount, you can bring home old products, good values, eco-friendly, vegan-friendly

Cons

Crazy expectations to increase sales year on year as prices of their products rise. Duties for a sales consultant often go above and beyond what you're contracted to do and more similar to a supervisor without the pay rise for your trouble. Even though I had double-knee surgery and asked for medical leave I was on the rota to work 20hrs (I couldn't stand or walk). If the manager doesn't like you, they'll make your life hell until you quit.

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.
