They treat you like a person not a number. Best job I've ever worked at, the pay is great alongside a fab bonus and amazing staff discount. Started as a Christmas temp and haven't left!! Also very eco friendly with great ethics.

The brand itself can be a bit outdated with views on offers and lack of new technology.

Great Company Ideals, Slow Progress for Employees

Assistant manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great products, plenty of educational materials to make even an inexperienced member feel confident in selling the product. Good incentives for meeting sales goals (cash bonus based on sales and fun prizes during the holidays. Free product each month.

Cons

Slow progression for anyone looking to move up. Even when positions are opened and applied for, it takes so long to get any response back as to the progress of the application and no compensation is made even when one has been taking the lead in the position in question while waiting for the title.
