Pros

Working with the best merchant team. Developing business for the new designers as well as the established. Opportunity to work with merchant team on the curated assortment. Working with tenured selling professionals and their loyal clients.

Cons

A large store with many silos. Colleagues are often spread thin. Drive for desired technology metrics impede expected personal service.

Pros

The only Advantage is the employee Discount .

Cons

Where do I start ? Toxic Working atmosphere ! Wars and Wars on the floor between Sales Associate over customers , Thats my customer ,No Thats My Customer ! fighting in front of the customers ! very very Cheap and unprofessional , but the Managers like it ! they dont want it to stop because they think it motivates the Sales people to sale but they dont realize its ruining the image of the Store and providing bad customers service . When a customer sees two associates following them and arguing they run out fast ! Managers are Terrible too ! they want you to do numbers , dont care how ! they see you fighting with co-workers and they dont want to solve the problem because they are cowards . and they always take the side of the Associate that sells more . even if that associate is Mean ,Evil and unprofessional . it doesnt matter , The floor manager once told me : that management can close eyes on my behavior if I sell . I can call sick , I can come late ,I can take a lot of breaks , I can crush my co-workers ,it doesnt matter as long as I am making numbers . BG is no Luxury anymore . you can find better customer Service in Zara than here in BG . at least there they wont attack you like a pray . its very poisoning place to work for and I am planing to leave soon ! I cant deal with Trashy cheap uneducated people .

Pros

401k, health benefits , and the lunchroom for employees, the discount even though u lowered cosmetics from 30% to 20%

Cons

From the top down. Human Resources r not human. Coworkers piranhas,front & back stabbing,steal sales. Managers do not manage. Sit in office, nepotism, only care whose selling. U could have a bloodbath between workers they don't want any involvement. No support from them, but the moment their shift is up they r out the door.They don't tell u but deduct your hourly by 10% on a rolling basis if u don't make the outrageous goals they give no consideration for the economy, u can only sell more never less.. There is so much accrued vacation, people don't take because they r afraid to lose their job, u can now roll over only a certain amount.. U r still responsible 4 numbers when not there. Associates on medical leave were told they were still being held accountable for not being there .
