Don't give up

Sales leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There's always something new to learn. Holidays are full of fun and excitement. Great products to play with and show to customers. The team is friendly and family oriented. Coaching is continuous so you will learn so much and grow so fast as long as that is your desire.

Cons

Customers who no matter what you try to do to make their day will end up being mad at you because they believe it really is your fault that you don't have the products on hand. Children who comes running through the store knocking everything down and you have to pick up or clean up after them. Most time you will be upset to find used products all over the store because customers don't know the difference between products with the "Try Me" stickers and the one without. They use which ever bottle they happen to pick up then put it back on the shelf and buy the one in the back.

take the job as a last resort

Sales associate

Pros

easy job to get coworkers are nice(some are over the top)

Cons

I have never had a job that was so cut throat. I thought I was imagining things my first couple days. I wanted to keep my job for about a year as a sales associate, but as a student this job is too stressful. It is one of the most stressful jobs I have had. The management tells you to sell, sell, and sell. It is ridiculous. After all it is lotion and creams. How much do people need? I thought it would be a fun place to work, instead it turned out to be the opposite----stressful!

Not enough hours to gain product knowledge

Sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good 30% discount, occassional free products

Cons

Very few hours- sometimes less than 3 hrs/week. Call ins are ridiculous. Often I have three call ins a week and no actual schedule. I am to call in an hour before my "shift" so they can tell me if I am working. Have not once been called in to work. Ruins all plans for the day for no reason. Not enough hours to memorize the rapidly-changing promotions Pushed to annoy customers and beg them to buy.
