Pros

The atmosphere in the store is fun and fast-paced, with background music that helps keep everyone upbeat. If you're a girly-girl, you can't go wrong spending your time literally surrounded by fragrance, makeup, skin and haircare. The store's team approach to selling promotes friendliness amongst associates who are willing to help and support each other. Busy days fly by.

Cons

Even the hardest working, most knowledgeable associate will find it difficult to earn a raise that totals more than a few cents annually. Performance reviews are thorough and include specific expectations for the future growth of each associate, but they are not accompanied by pay increases that make the effort worthwhile.

Pros

+ monthly training gratis + brand and product training + exposure to working with luxury brands + technology device supplements role

Cons

- unstable hours / unstable income - part-time employee classification has a wide weekly hourly gap (e.g., 15-29 weekly hours) and the availability expectation is that of a full-time (e.g., required to be open 4-5 a week, open to close) - minimal career growth if wanting to become full-time within the same store
