Pros

Employee discount, decent hours since they are only open til 6 and 4 on weekends, some awesome customers you get to connect with, get to stay on top of the latest beauty products and trends

Cons

HORRIBLE management (store AND corporate level), constantly changing policies you can’t keep up with, severe understaffing so it’s impossible to keep up with work, hardly any opportunity for advancement and when positions open the company usually already has someone lined up for the job based on favoritism, also pay is pretty much minimum wage, A lot of nasty customers

Pros

Easy job Discount Free samples(sometimes) Don’t have to deal with the public because it is only licensed professionals

Cons

You work alone for a few outs Also if you are scheduled Sundays you work alone. Some people come in and steal and it’s scary if you don’t know how to handle the situation. Especially if you are alone Even though you don’t have to deal with the public you do at the same time because some people come in and try to shop even though they don’t have a license.

Pros

Customers are really nice and they do sell great products in store.

Cons

Don't walk but run as fast as you can. The job is easy for the most part and customers are great .Upper management is horrible!! Be prepared to work open to closes with no overtime. My raise was literally .13 cents and that's with making most of my goals. They will tell you about the bonus structure, but the goals are truly unachievable. My first Red flag was how everyone stayed quiet, defeated, and miserable on zoom meetings.Before the economy took a turn for the worst they literally couldn't hold on to a managers. If you're completely desperate for a job, I can't even say I'd recommend one.
