Pros

- Good pay for an easy job - Commission based sales - Perks in beauty treatments such as brows for free - Free products that are newly released - Box of makeup you need to wear for work sent every 6 months..you choose what products - Discount on the shops you are working within. (Boots, Debenhams, House of Fraser)

Cons

- Team very "catty" and troublesome. - Very targeted based - "Traffic Stopping" when store is empty and no customers - Need to wear a lot of makeup, was frowned upon when had a spot and told to cover it, making it worse.

Pros

Making some good friends in the beauty hall and the local Benefit Counters. Other than that, not much really tbh!

Cons

Ha where do I start. Unrealistic targets, that don't get lowered when staff leave. I was there for 18 month and including myself, 8 members of staff left in 18 month. Including someone that lasted 2 week. The area manager was a bully, we called her the smiling assassin. She said everything in a happy tone, even if she was threatening you with your job. The products are rubbish. Area managers don't understand that not everyone that appears on counter wants to spend £150+. Traffic stopping is embarrassing and degrading. Used to be an alright company. Now it looks cheap.
