Pros
50% discount, (down from 70% in previous years). However, products are so expensive you are still paying £8 for a body wash at half price. Nice products.
Cons
Low pay for what you are expected to do (I was a key holder, with more responsibility however no extra pay). Hours vary too much. 0 hour contracts can be common. Management do not care what happens as long as you meet targets. If you miss a target in a month, you are made to feel you are to blame.

Pros
Beautiful store, packaging and range of products.
Cons
Poor training for store managers (3 days). Lack of support from both corporate office and regional DM. Complication back office systems making for difficult reporting and keeping track of sales, inventory, top sellers,etc. Complicated visual and floor set changes and way too often. Too many shipments all at once with lack of focus on what actually sells in the store. Lack of focus on core products resulting in customer dissastifaction with overall brand. Low pay in urban competitive areas resulting in high turnover.

Pros
Great products design and overall very nice shop. They have good offers and the clients are generally respectful and smiley.
Cons
The organisation is a mess, staff were very unhappy and scared of the manager. Very negative environment and very low pay. Commissions on perfume sales creates an uncomfortable and tense shop to work at.

Pros
Most products are well made. The product knowledge manual is very helpful when explaining the benefits of usage. The discount is great and the foot traffic is low so you're not stressed like other high volume retailers. These are small boutique like stores with a handful of staff. Request your days off in advance.
Cons
Low pay and slow foot traffic so there's not much to do. I worked there part-time evening/weekends for 1 year and we were only busy during the holidays. Upper management set unreasonably high sales goals.
