Pros

There aren't any that I could even think of . Don't bother working for this company , you will regret it

Cons

Upper management/DM's don't bother to communicate and have no idea what's going on in the company . Discount isn't great, hours are horrible. Calling corporate for anything is a lost cause . Benefits are the worst of any company ive worked for. No holiday pay, no sick pay. Only pto and that have to earned , they make you use it for sick time even if you don't want too. Health insurance and dental and vision is a joke ! Highest rates of any company , not to mention worst coverage . They will lie to you about bonus as a way to make up for rate of pay , then every month change bonus structure so that you never make bonus. Company is a sham !

Pros

Good hours, good pay. You receive good training from vendors.

Cons

No growth whatsoever. If you’re a makeup artist seeking growth and education, you won’t find it here. Company pressures you to sell their in-house brands (Lune + Aster and M-61) M-61 is decent, but Lune + Aster is outdated and lacks client interest. Lack of makeup brands. Huge turnover rate, always understaffed. Most managers don’t even know how to apply makeup.

Pros

There are no pros to this job, they are terrible at management and they don’t ever help workers with anything. They simply don’t care.

Cons

Bluemercury is a terrible company and our store got no help. Also, they are super transphobic and treat LGBTQ with disrespect. They are awful.
