Pros

the discount, if you can even use their products

Cons

i wanted to give zero stars but glassdoor wont let me, mean girl, catty, dramatic atmosphere, poor/lack of management, no beauty or cosmetics knowledge, they still test on animals, ingredients are very unnatural and aggravating to the skin, I cannot tell you how many clients sat down with me for a "cool down" with burns, welts, and scabs from the wax. one of the most unclean "spa" "boutiques" I have ever seen. lazy, lazy, lazy. rude rude rude. unrealistic sales goals especially when the product is not even available to sell. nothing cute, girly, or fun about this place. as corporate as it comes, sell sell sell, even sell them the wrong thing just to make the sale, zero professionalism. if you like constant drama and complaining and girls who spend a half hour on the clock to apply their makeup before the store opens or a manager who doesn't even wear makeup, then this is the corporation for you. totally not what I expected. extremely disappointed. sorry I didn't drink the kool aid long enough to be manipulated into staying. when I got my paycheck, I laughed... all this drama for nothing

Pros

Discount on product A beautiful makeup line to work for.the clients in rye are warm and friendly. Getting free services is a plus.unfortunately if the meangirls dont like you'forget about that spray tan.

Cons

An extremely passive aggressive hostile environment.makeup and skincare should be fun.there is malicious gossip,constant turn over in management. For some reason that store hires abd favors obese,overweight women.If you are thin and beautiful'such as myself,the otber aestheticians will do thier best to throw you under the bus every chance they get.The term skinny shaming is alive and well at benefit on purchase street in rye.

Pros

Competitive compensation. Great people to work with.

Cons

Decision makers are out of touch with the business and the employees. Too many reductions...staff, budgets, inventory. Very little innovation in products or in the way that business is being done.
