Pros

- good scents - often have customers that are happy to be helped by you

Cons

- everything to do with management, from the store itself to head office, is entirely corrupt and ridiculously unhelpful. - the high concentration of what they call "boutique" fragrances; simply knockoffs that are scattered throughout, making the store look unprofessional. - the poor graphic design of the store; just looking at the place makes you think "yeah, these are fakes", even if they aren't. - guilt-tripping and manipulative behaviors from management. - often severely understaffed. - NO RAISES, WHATSOEVER. - if you want any time off, you have to book it like. three months in advance; even doctor's appointments. - i'm not sure if this is applicable to all locations, but i've heard of it occurring at several; there's a scam in place in which you tell the customer the product is more than it actually is, and giving a "free gift" to make up the price discrepancy. i'm highly positive that this practice is illegal. buyer, beware.

Pros

The owner of the company is a successful businessman, leader and mentor . Great senior management. Room for growth and opportunies within the company. At the end of the year the remote online team is rewarded with a get away trip.

Cons

No Union, retirement benefits or 401K match not the best.
