Pros

Discount, Sample Sales, Co-Workers in Corporate Office

Cons

Let me tell you about this place. It started off so well, then they implemented a new inventory system to mess everything up. Literally nothing worked properly, but yet we were still expected to do things correctly. Everything came down onto the assistant buyers and the coordinators. Our individual teams helped one another, but when push came to shove, it was all up to the AB's. THEN they had the audacity to tell us to come in on Saturday's, like what? You want me, to come into this place on my weekend AND you want to extend my day an hour, I cannot deal. Things are not getting better, but we are getting used to working in the systems. Still would like a raise though.

Pros

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

Employee discount and free samples

Cons

A toxic environment where sales are almost zero because vendors are pulling their product off the shelf because their bills aren’t getting paid. They’re in the middle of coming out of a bankruptcy , if a client does come in, we usually don’t have the product to sell them ,only lines who are partially thriving is fragrance ! The hours are terrible. You get off work at nine and you’re expected to be back at 9:30 AM.
