Pros

I've worked retail positions on and off and understand the nature of it. The difference here is that the store team I worked with really seemed like a family and we all worked for each other. I really love makeup and art so the combination was great for me as a makeup artist. I came in not knowing how to sell, just what I liked. I liked that I was trained by the brands that we sold (everything from makeup to skincare and even hair products and candles, etc.). Overall a great experience. Had to leave to move with my family.

Cons

Weekend work but that is normal with retail jobs.

Pros

I've been here (retail store) for a few years and have been well-trained in the product lines and the company policies and have gradually gotten more responsibility. I went from part time associate to full time, then to holding a key then to store assistant manager. I've appreciated the time that the store manager and regional manager spent with me to bring me along and feel like I have a good chance at a store manager opportunity coming up so I wanted to let possible new employees know that my experience has been great.

Cons

The store has a lot of brands and you are expected to be an expert. You get training but it is important to pay attention because I've found that the customers really value it if you know what you are talking about. I've noticed that customers have high expectations of us so I've caught on that I need to be able to know alot to help them with their problem areas.

Pros

I worked at the store level and loved the work. I am a real product junkie and love working with people so it was a great combination of getting to work with a product that I love and the opportunity to talk with a diverse group of clients. There was good support from the field management and the store employees seemed appropriately motivated and we worked well as a team.

Cons

I had to move due to a family need so unfortunately there is no Bluemercury in my new location.
