Abusive management and limited growth opportunities

Business Outlook

Pros

None really unless you like gratis for a mid tier makeup brand.

Cons

Abusive management and exploitative business practices. And a niche service for brows won’t really help with growing into the esthetics/spa world.They will work you to the bone and have high retail expectations, they expect individuals to sell thousands of dollars worth of product weekly but give minimal bonus and PTO. This business markets themselves as caring and kind but hires male leads that harass female employees. Multiple racial injustices have happened in my time working here too.

Pros

Free product twice a year or with new launches, consistent hours

Cons

Very low pay, bonus was dependant on how the whole team was doing so I never received one, traffic was not great for walk ins, felt like I was doing the work of a Sephora employee without any of the benefits/discounts
