Pros

-products are fantastic. Natural ingredients and farm to jar philosophy -50% off discount and gratis with every campaign -beautiful stores

Cons

Everything else.... -poor work-life balance. Forget you ever had a personal life and just work all the time even on days off! Expect to work through your lunch break, pull 6days/week and good luck taking vacation when you want! Kiss weekends goodbye completely! Also, expect that most days you will definitely work 9+ hours -high expectations and low pay. You are expected to meet ridiculous sales goals and with very little staff hours. Bonus structure is a joke. You'll be offered less pay upon hire and told bonus will balance this out - not true! Raises are very low also, even if you reach your goals. -disorganization from head office. Everything is so last minute with real lack of foresight. Promotions, campaign changes and events all thrown together at the last hour -high work load with little support -constant emails/phone calls everyday which detract from selling I could go on and on but I'll stop and just say consider how much you value your time before you join this company!
