Pros

Great training, and nice colleagues. Also good product discounts (50%), and perks. You can take home 2 small sized products each month (not perfume). Pretty much everyone is queer, which is nice.

Cons

The further up you go in the lush foodchain, the less and less they seem to understand human interactions. The culture of approaching/re-approaching is frankly horrible. We know how awkward it is, but higher-ups are breathing down our necks, making work a pretty unpleasant and stressful environment. The managers tell the supervisors to tell the sales assistants to 're-approach' a customer for the third time, without the common sense that "i'm just looking" means "leave me alone please". The senior team are on the shop floor more than ever, and with big smiles, can be very patronising. If you've been into a LUSH, as a customer, you can imagine how it is to work there. Intense. Colourful. Sometimes fake.

Pros

Discounts, we got 50% off of most items

Cons

Unhygienic, stressful, money hungry, fear monger. Unprofessional managers both as an employee and customer. Never experienced such low life conditions, manager brought in animal multiple times in store, and made staff clean its pee. Customers were floored, inexcusable and HR is unresponsive. The bathroom is disgusting, and inaccessible. I cannot imagine any one with a physical disability being able to use the restroom. It was so difficult to suck in your stomach, then trip on box after box. They BLOCK the fridge and made us put our food in our tiny lockers. Manager is too comfortable with the amount of time spent within the company to ever fear facing any consequences or repercussions. Even fired staff in the past for contacting HR for help.
