Thank you for your feedback regarding your time as a Beauty Advisor, As we provide training for our teams several times a week, it is concerning to hear that you didn't get to receive enough of this during your time in your store. We would really appreciate you contacting the People Team at a time that works for you if you would like to discuss this further.
