Wouldn't Recommend This Job
Pros
Most clients are wonderful, tips are decent, gratis was cool, some of the girls I worked with. This is excluding the people the try to throw the other girls at the counter under the bus to make themselves look better. That's makeup retail for you.
Cons
The constant need to be fake and overly excited. Which clients literally would tell me they didn't appreciate. Traffic stopping!!! I understand pulling clients when you're not busy but shoving product down someone's throat is not effective. Which is the approach they want you to have. Honestly everyone I knew that worked at Benefits was miserable and waiting for something better. Also opportunities might be available but you're going to be absolutely perfect and more than above and beyond for them to even consider it. I was hired and made to believe that in a few months I would be promoted but even with getting recognition all the way from San Francisco. I still wasn't good enough.
