Pros

Free samples Employee discount Quarterly bonuses

Cons

Constant realignment, teams cannot grow with a leader for ever feel stable. Leaders who preach diversity and inclusion but refuse to learn what LGBTQ stands for. Not trust from upper management- complaints taken to HR about your supervisor are brought to your supervisors attention with your name attached. Store teams are grossly underpaid- we are told that the work/life balance makes up for the low pay rates , yet store managers were constantly told to work from home and had to always be on. Upper management would talk down about the need to be politically correct and inclusive. Heard them speak disparagingly around gender identity and the Trans community. Stores would be scheduled to close, teams already ,over on and inventory transferred out when we would suddenly discover the store was now staying open. Communication was constant- Friday nights, weekends. We were constantly chasing information and had no actual time off. Complete disconnect from home office to field around workload, technology challenges , safety concerns, theft , payroll expectations

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.
