    The Body Shop Customer consultant, September 2023

  • Best thing

    Perks like 50% off and free items

    Worst thing

    Contracts changed to make store assistants do the same jobs as management like opening shop, closing shop, cashing up tills, refunds and exchanges etc but with no extra pay and doesn’t take into consideration the fact most people are contracted 8-16 hours and due to this are uni students, parents with young or disabled kids etc who don’t want to take on extra responsibility like this

    The Body Shop Store manager, February 2023

  • Best thing

    The brand attracts very creative people. So your team is bounds to be diverse, with interesting perspectives. The brand has made a conscious effort to make this a thing even at store level. So all views are given a space, you work collaboratively across your peers and up and down workflow lines.

    Worst thing

    At the end of the day, it’s retail. Often wellbeing is sacrificed as the business out pressure on achieving ridiculous and rigid targets that are seldom revised. But they will go on about the importance of protecting your well-being- mostly to cover their HR backs. As much as the store teams are creative, the brand can, and often does, block creative freedom in actioning how the store looks
