Pros

There is nothing positive about this place. Everything is bad-any good review is a lie. Everyone who works here is miserable

Cons

Schedule was never posted, but no one actually shows up for work, so you wound have to figure it out on your own.

Pros

Vacation time great, but you are never allowed to use it! And when you do use it, your still on call!

Cons

Working 12 days in a row with no day off, open to close, and not even a thank you for all the hard work you did! Not cool! When you have a day off or on vacation, but your regional still calls you and you are expected to respond to emails! Not cool! No work, life balance here! No recognition, no support, no advice on business growth, no balance on work......all from upper management(regional)

Pros

Tons of gratis from brands. The clients are great, if you take the time to get to know them, you will be able to get other job opportunities for yourself or someone you know. It is a great place to network yourself, even if you don't want to be in the beauty industry. Had a great team and some amazing coworkers. You learn a lot about beauty products and skincare....lots of education.

Cons

During my time at Bluemercuy (less than a year), I went through one of the most stressful and dramatic times in my life. The pay is terrible, absolutely terrible. If you ask for a raise they will LAUGH in your face or offer you a dollar more (which is a slap in the face considering how much time and energy is spent working like a dog for this company). There is NO communication from upper management, and when there is, its false or condescending information. It is HIGHLY evident that the DM's have favorites...not only does it show in how often they visit each store(s), but in how they accommodate other employees. There is no sick time posted on pay stubs (which is ILLEGAL in the county and state that I live in)...when my coworkers and I tried to get a hold of HR to find out how much sick time we had, NO ONE called or emailed us back. There was even an altercation between some employees, almost to the point where it was physical, and NO ONE did anything about it. No one cares about how hard you work for this company. Yes, you do get a lot of free products, but trust me, it is SO NOT worth it. You will have NO work/life balance.
