Pros

A company with real ethics, something you can be proud to represent. I worked with the best people and even met Marla a few times. A very exciting concept and still exciting to see it grow. I am fortunate enough to have a great boss. The support and leadership of Lauren, has been a true game-changer for me professionally. I just got promoted to bigger volume store.

Cons

No business cards or email

Secretive company, never upfront

Pros

It's so lame for this company that their only real perk is gratis. THE GRATIS COMES FROM THE VENDORS SOLD IN YOUR STORE. NOT FROM BLUEMERCURY.... so this "pro" is a kudos to the brands themselves. Not the actual store.

Cons

You're hired without being given full info on benefits and pay. ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS. They will purposefully not tell you things. Like, no paid holidays, no time and a half, you'll work every Sunday and Saturday, requesting time off is punishable. This company does NOT set you up for success or value you AS A HUMAN BEING. They have very very high turnover because of their "scrappiness". Their DIRECTOR OF STORES ask their new hire managers to come on here and write good reviews at the end of the "new manager training". Hence the spurts of good reviews. MACY's now owns Bluemercury. Hopefully they will recognize how rotten the BM corporate structure is and they'll make MUCH more money when their people on the field are happy.
