Pros

Beautiful product, loyal clientele! Some of the best I've worked with, on both accounts.

Cons

Waste! Monthly window changes with props that were rarely kept. Waste! 3 year shelf life of product & then it's to be THROWN AWAY. Does soap really expire? Could it not be donated to hospices or shelters (which I did as a store manager...very hush, hush). Frequent shipments of already expired merchandise from corporate to stores. Unsafe! Some business practices put employee safety at risk. Unprofessional! Regional/Corporate management is completely ridiculous, worrying more about the color of ribbons on boxes than actual ways to increase sales. No Product! Basic stock and promotional items were frequently out. Outdated systems! Promotions for customers rarely rang up correctly in the POS system. Inventory system was painfully inaccurate. Frequent "freezes" or "crashes" of the POS. Poor communication! While some TOTAL falacies were told during the interviewing process, the lack of listening/poor communication on a daily basis is unmotivating, frustrating, and ultimately leads to seeking employment elsewhere.
