Sometimes fun, sometimes very annoying - Shift Lead Lolli and Pops Employee Review

I found this to be a stressful job, but I do not do well in busy retail environments in general. There is a lot of micromanagement that trickles down from the top. I despised the secret shopper reviews. The questions on them made it difficult for employees to get high marks, as specific phrases had to be said. We basically had a script for when talking to and giving tours to customers. While it can act as a helpful guide, if you're not an actor it can make for an awkward conversation. The uniform is a costume. If you have no shame talking to people in a bow tie and straw hat, more power to you . With free candy comes terrible stomach aches. Frequently employees would complain about feeling sick. While this is a matter of discipline, it is absolutely encouraged (and important) to know what you are selling, which means trying all of the candy.
