Pros

commission 3% of every sale, samples to personally try, knowledge on products

Cons

you will be dealing outside your department 60% of the time, you will be understaffed and have to leave the beauty counter a lot, you will be forced to push credits constantly and will be scolded if you don’t make a certain goal at the end of the week, same with the email (has to be above 51%) or you will bring stores number down and you will be scolded in morning meetings in front of your peers for it, they will randomly throughout the year cut your hours then give you an excessive amount of hours (no balance). Pay is not a sustainable source of income, making ends meet after each paycheck if you are out time

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
