Pros

Excellent ongoing training, lots of free products to try for personal testimony to clients, Beautiful products that you will sell with pride. 40 hour work week,so life work balance is manageable. Fast pace environment so your day moves by quickly. Clients love the store and will return, which creates an inimate, friendly relationship.

Cons

Limited floor coverage will exhaust you during peak selling periods. Excessive multi-tasking, High stress and pressure to achieve segment goals, especially with reagard to selling Angel Cards (credit). Excessive floor changes that require associates and managers to work long hours completing floor sets.

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
