Pros

The products are great. You also really connect with your store's team and become friends. The discount offered to employees is good, not great.

Cons

Very poor wages for the work required. Micro managed. Marketing has no idea what they're doing and a lot of pressure falls on retail staff to get customers into the store. Sales targets are impossible to meet per month, so any hopes of bonus are dashed. HR is rude and unhelpful and will find any loopholes to undermine you. The stores have high turn over rates because store level employees are held in low regard by head office. They would rather fire someone than deal with an issue. Also, gratis is usually pathetic.

Pros

Strong training program for product knowledge and selling skills. Generous employee discount enabled us to purchase products for personal use.

Cons

Limited opportunity for growth due to small number of boutiques. Also not enough emphasis on succession planning and promoting from within. Many qualified candidates overlooked.
