Bluemercury reviews

I got started at $13 an hour, or commission of 50%, whichever is higher. Once your already committed they tell you it's only for 3 months then you go down to... gasp. Minimum wage!??? And iy's only 40% under a Certain amount, I think $4,000. Sad. It was nice to have at least that much of a cushion because in the beginning I would pretty much break even, or commission would be just a little higher. It takes a good year to get faithful, clients who are steady & come back so They should not take the original pay down. The makeup artists get anywhere from $18 - 20. An hour, I sell as much skin care, but get no credit, I have brought people out after an eyebrow wax & shaped their eyebrows further with a pencil/ shadow, the client is so excited, that they want me to suggest more.. they buy everything. They don't have Estheticians ring up anything on the register, which is stupid, because it's a rare day that you have back to back services. Half the time I'm on the floor giving skin care advice, introducing myself, and selling. Bottom line- They need to pay way bett

Ridiculous "commission" structure that fails to reward individual success and is set up to prevent company from having to pay out commissions, poor corporate leadership/support, almost invariably incompetent, unqualified and antagonistic store managers; requirement to perform extensive operational duties including inventory stocking, taking out the trash, cleaning customer & employee bathrooms, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming store and window washing everyday, merchandising, paperwork; below industry pay, insulting yearly raises (for example 25 cents --- in four years my hourly wage increased less than two dollars; sharky and unethical sales practices by other associates and store managers like cherry-picking, ringing someone else's sales for themselves, failing to rotate walk-up sales -- and this behavior is tolerated and even encouraged by the unprofessional adversarial and gossip-ridden culture where only money matters. Air conditioning / heat always breaking down, prohibitively expensive insurance options. When long-term, successful employees start asking for fair pay and fair practices management replaces them with new staff eager to prove themselves and therefore willing to tolerate unfair policies, expectations and low pay. Most recently, excessive pressure to push in-house brand over other lines, which alienates other vendors and compromises customer trust.
