Pros

Free employee samples and employee discount are the ONLY good aspects of working for this company. No issues with my manager but everyone above her was awful.

Cons

Literally everything. Corporate workers have no respect for store employees. They talk down to you and degrade you when you try to follow the handbook. They push sales-and allow sales to those who aren't even licensed- just so they can get their bonus. They want the store employees who are paid horribly (even if licensed) to push sales so that their store sales are high because that's how THEY get their bonus. There are NO incentives for store staff to sell more whatsoever. They do not follow the company handbook unless it benefits them financially. I called cooperate to make a complaint about my work environment and they didn't even return my call but called my manager to tell them I called.. horrible to their employees. Work environment is unsafe and unhealthy.

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.
