Pros

great people to work with at store level!

Cons

This company has made so many changes in the last 2 years and not for the better. They used to be an amazing company to work for but now the upper management that is in place does not know how to treat people and talks down to everyone beneath his management level, making them feel stupid and belittled. It was just better to move on than to be walking on eggshells and totally miserable every day!!

Pros

- 30% discount + some free products monthly - The team I worked with was what kept me there as long as I was - The job itself is pretty simple

Cons

- Management is an absolute disaster - My location had their manager quit back in August 2021 and it's now almost January 2022 and they have part timers running the store - District and Regional managers are complete bullies and they do not value their employees - HR doesn't care about issues, instead blames part timers - Absolutely no recognition for the hard work you do - Rules are so scattered and during a pandemic, this was incredibly stressful when it came to customers without masks - Just no respect for the in-store level of associates, and major problems get ignored - Honestly, not even worth it for a part time job. The overall disrespect and bullying is anxiety inducing and nobody should ever be treated like that - From April 2021-December 2021 I witnessed 5 managers within our district leave due to poor management and bullying - They can't keep employees or managers because nobody wants to put up with any of this Please, do not work here.

Pros

Free samples, 30% off discount, flexible schedule, benefits for all employees

Cons

Gossipy coworkers and management, lack of breaks a half hour is not sufficient, micromanaging from upper management if quotas aren’t met, having to spend money out of pocket for bundles, lack of appreciation, very two faced. Promised the world and left disappointed in the end. No room for advancement. They will knock you down in hours to even consider giving a full time position. Was bullied out of my job and management was trying to get me fired for years. Underpaid for the work load. I would train the new employees on the cash. When management stops caring about their job the morale of the team is affected and does not make a positive work environment. Felt like I was on eggshells going there.
