Pros

Store based role Room to be creative Ability to establish own routines and processes within wider company processes and policies Higher staff discount than other retail jobs

Cons

Amount of free product given can give the illusion that one is being paid well, pay is in line with a lot of other retail businesses. Company talks about and has charity for advancement of women but only provide average wage for their majority female employee cohort. Incongruous messages being sent. Difficult, uncommon for store level staff to negotiate pay rise.
