Pros

Flexible hours, good for a side job and good for a student who is looking to save up some money

Cons

Horrible Pay. They start us at minimum wage and that is worth NOTHING considering all the things we have to know and the rude customers that we have to deal with everyday. This is a Multi-Million Company. The least you can do is pay your employees a little better. Upper management doesn't care at all about us. The incentive Program is a sham! The company charges you 8% of the taxes from the things you get with your points from you hard earned paycheck and they don't even tell you about it. There is NO incentive. You can't get time off until you have a certain amount of time with them. We never get recognition for the things we do right. All they care about are their stupid numbers. The registers SERIOUSLY need an upgrade. There should be cameras int he store so we don't have to follow customers around in fear that they may steal something. Their raises for evaluations are HORRIBLE. There are really no changes for prospering in this company.

Pros

Trying new products Assisting customers with product recommendations Commission on certain items

Cons

The daily revenue quota was at times very unrealistic and unattainable. A lot of pressure was put on our team to sell x/dollars per day but sometimes it just wasn't realistic (bad weather, lots of returns some days).

Pros

The people I worked with were always really cool and it was honestly a very easy job.

Cons

Upper level management was too uptight about certain goals that were unrealistic for beauty advisors, but there was never any big repercussions. Too little pay for the amount of work I did.
