Benefit Cosmetics reviews

Creative leadership is heavy-handed bordering on abusive HR is ineffective and never addresses bad management No career path or training other than longevity, which promotes unqualified people to decision-makers Almost no one trusts their mgr or believes in her ability to manage a team behind the curve in use of technology - too much $$ spent on travel.

Pushy (8 steps) sales tactics. Dishonesty from upper management. Lack of organization. They are only about getting sales goals and not about helping the customer find what he/she wants. As a beauty artist you will basically be a receptionist. Answering phones, making appts. for the aesthetician and ringing up their clients. And if someone happens to walk in for makeup (which people rarely do here) you don't even have time for them because some of the aestheticians refuse to ring up their own customers. It's not a good place for a makeup artist. At the boutique that I worked at there was not a lot of foot traffic. (mostly due to metered parking issues). Most of the customers come in for the brow bar only. They have an appt. and put coins in the meter for 20 minutes and then leave. But the problem is that as a Beauty Artist you are required to push product sales (the 8 steps!) on the customers coming in for a brow bar service. Most of them do not want to buy product or even have it tried on. But you will be required to do the 8 steps even if the customer doesn't want it.
