Pros

50% off Some colleagues were friendly

Cons

Forcing staff to harass customers has to stop. I was taken to one side and told off numerous times for not forcing myself on people that clearly did not want to be spoken once I had already greeted them. I enjoyed the job at first, as I feel like they start you off gently, but once I had been there a few weeks that all changed and I realized a job harassing people to buy soap was not for me.

Pros

Fantastic opportunity to grow within company. Great pay and discounts.

Cons

I HATE the rule of reapproaching customers over and over. As someone who shopped at Lush for a long time before working there, I can say for a fact that as a customer I hated it too. It comes across as desperately pushy and if anything I feel like I drove most of our customers away. When I wasn't feeling up to pushing I would watch for people who actually wanted the assistance or wait until someone asked me for help. In the mean time I would clean, restock or provide demonstrations of products. I always had more success with that but I would still be told off by managers, asm or supervisor. I left feeling as though I was terrible at my job and at retail in general

Pros

70% of the people I worked with were lovely I experienced 2/3 fantastic managers and 1/3 was not guided very well from her bosses, lots of emphasis on money money money which is not the lush way! Free stuff! Good discount Opportunities to work in other stores/events Charity work! Training Progression is fantastic if you want it and work hard

Cons

More recently managers are very young and inexperienced Core values appear to be different to the lush I knew at the beginning of my employment i.e. making as much money as poss rather than giving customers great products and service to be proud of
