Pros

- Lush is a business that at its heart truly lives and breathes its values and ethics - especially in terms of environmental and animal rights - Not corporate at all, people are human, and are super friendly - If you're lucky you can admit if you have no clue what you're doing - Living wage from a retail perspective (Sales/ Supervisors) - It is truly a business like no other, and for better or worse you will get experience that you'd never dream of getting elsewhere - The people are everything, I have met some of the best and worst people in this business - It's always a group effort, there's always someone you can hop on a call with and have a small vent and crack on with solving the problem together - The people, because some of them really are that incredible

Cons

- Support teams are NOT paid nearly enough and whenever there is a living wage increase it is never filtered up to mid-level roles. - You're constantly working harder to be paid what you should originally have been made - Overworked / undervalued - ED&I is a joke that senior management/ the directors will never take seriously - The people - very clicky in certain areas, if a director doesn't like you, they will end your career. - Retail managers are horrific and need training, causes HR endless issues - HR have and will push people about by denying accessibility, or through allowing racism to happen rather than performance actioning their staff or managers. - You're expected to do 3 people's jobs - Senior leads, directors & founders do not have a single clue - Weaponised incompetence is RIFE - Appalling attitudes to inclusivity despite some great people doing fantastic work (Who do not get paid enough, and always get shut down by higher ups)

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.
