Pros

Great hands-on experience in multiple areas of work from customer service/satisfaction to makeup application to merchandising… You learn a ton about the beauty industry, different high end and luxury brands and their products. Can be very fun, depending on who you’re scheduled with each day.

Cons

You work very, very hard- are expected to do your own job plus the jobs of other positions/people that the company just doesn’t want to hire/continue to fill positions for in order to save money. So they have you do it. Large theft issue, management doesn’t seem to prioritize that. Staff satisfaction also doesn’t appear to be a concern of management. Mgt. has the “if you don’t like it, there’s the door” philosophy. They also pay terribly.

Pros

Pay is very good once you start getting raises. Weekly pay

Cons

Genuinely everything else, the pay is that high because they have to pay you over 25 just to put up with the awful environment. terrible structure, terrible management, no accountability, cliquey mean girl environment. managers are allowed to sit around and do essentially nothing while supervisors carry 100% of the load and there is no checks and balances to ensure management does the right thing. Corporate and HR genuinely don't care if certain people sit on their butt While others keep the business running. Credit card pushing is absolutely Off the Wall insane. Getting enough credit cards is all the company cares about and managers do not help. Managers are allowed to have no history with getting any credit cards at all and corporate doesn't bat an eye. If you try to speak out about anything that's going on you'll just get fired. Retaliation is allowed and encouraged.
