What Rituals employees say about their job

Best thing
Sales team members are lovely to work with
Worst thing
A lot of expectation- outside of work training modules, it’s hard to keep up with when you have other priorities/commitments, and you’re expected to consistently go over modules as it is mandatory.
Unnecessary and over the top service expected for every customerSales assistant at Rituals, March 2025
