Pros

Great discount Fast-paced Get to meet lots of interesting people Unique products The company loves feed-back on products from the staff The company actively finds alternatives to animal testing and supports lots of charities Veggie and Vegan friendly

Cons

Nightmare at Christmas. As each store is individual if you have an issue that needs HR's help, not much is really done. No two stores are run the same, the customer service and products are but the management styles can be completely different. When I started you were given some products when they had a launch for free, this did not happen towards the end of my employment, you had to purchase them to be able to try them, but were supposed to be experts on how they worked when selling them to customers

Hello, Thank you for your review. We love to hear your feedback (as you mentioned) and it is great to see it. Your review seems really fair with a balanced set of Pro's and Con's that you have drawn up. It seems that you enjoyed your time with Lush and we are really pleased to hear this. The individuality some aspects of each store is something that we promote but I also understand how it means that each store is different! Thanks again for your review. The Lush Team x

Pros

50% discount and very accommodating staff. Lush are really paving the way forward in equality and diversity and although I didn't personally benefit from this, the staff and company policies are really generous. The work wasn't particularly stress full either - delivery days were busy and Christmas was pretty nightmarish but Jan - November, fine.

Cons

I was restricted on speaking to customers and actively told not to do so. That then went onto being told not to speak to other members of staff unless it's about the work. I felt like an unvalued cog, and the workload was made out to be far more stressful than it was - I had days so quiet that I cleaned out all the cabinets in the back and bleached them. Not part of job description, just something to do.

Hello, Thank you for your honest review here and I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at Lush. There is a lot of cleaning involved in the role that you were doing, it's important to us that our fresh products are stored in the best condition possible, but understand that this is not always the best part of the role. Thank you for taking the time to respond, your feedback is really valuable to us.

Pros

Store Managers are always highly supportive and friendly. As retail sales assistants, we are all trained to be friendly and supportive of each other, and cultivate a fun and welcoming environment, to welcome our guests and cater for them in the best way possible. The lovely retail staff are a big reason why this job is fun. This job requires you to learn the details of the products in order to convey them accurately to the consumer. It also requires you to manually demonstrate the product on the consumer or in the shop. This job is great for you to practise thinking on the spot when greeting and dealing with customers. The more sales you make, the more you can get a small monthly bonus.

Cons

Some days, the hours get very long and tiring - it's manual work on your feet for the day after all. As retail sales assistants, we aren't given much of a break time. For a full 8-hour work period, we get 50 minutes break-time - and depending on how many staff are there on the day, it's not as flexible to divide into small breaks to your preference.
