A real rollercoaster - Keyholder Buff City Soap Employee Review

Pros

It’s really empowering to make things by hand and it becomes quite the creative outlet. Customers are almost all pleasant due to the nature of the job. You’ll go home smelling nice, and if there’s an event (especially for kids) you can feel like you made someone’s day special.

Cons

The work will never be completed. Balancing inventory, quality management, cleanliness, and customer service (plus SALES) is an impossible juggling task that will never satisfy management and will never make you feel like you deserve a break. Animosity can quickly grow among the team if it feels like the workload is distributed unevenly and support is not offered. Live in fear of management nitpicking you via camera and mystery shops ruining your workflow and reputation.

Pros

Coworkers were genuinely supportive and fun to work with. The hands-on aspect of making and customizing products to order was fun.

Cons

Management showed little concern for employees. The store closed with no notice or severance pay, leaving staff suddenly jobless and financially unstable. Management was extremely numbers-driven, pressuring employees to meet unrealistic transaction and sales goals. Severely understaffed and underpaid, some employees working open-to-close shifts alone multiple times per week.
