Pros

So far I have enjoyed my employment at bluemercury. I get to work with an awesome group of people who all know the value of teamwork and genuinely care about each other. My manager is professional, supportive and always has a positive attitude - I can't even count how many times I've heard her say "Thank you" in the 3 months I've been at the store/spa. As for the company, it is growing immensely, so there's a lot of opportunity. They sell quality products and services that I can stand behind. As an employee, you get a lot of gratis, 30% off products and services, and the ability to grow within the company, if you have the motivation and desire to do so.

Cons

I have none to speak of. If you come in looking at what the company has to offer, rather than what it doesn't, you will find that this is a great place to work.

Pros

“Gratis” which comes from the BRANDS not Blue Mercury. They recently told brands to stop giving store teams gratis…

Cons

Higher up corporate leader often absent and disengaged, offering little to no meaningful support. Quick to throw you under the bus or say “I didn’t know” & “as well”. Instead of celebrating success, there’s a tendency to undermine high-performers and point blame. Huge egos, always on a power trip yet, disoriented, lost, and confused. Makes accusatory remarks without evidence, or thought, which creates a very toxic environment and makes it difficult to build trust. Professional growth is nonexistent, and innovation is discouraged. Upper corp Leaders feel threatened and need their egos stroked. Feedback culture doesn’t exist. Upper leadership leans more toward criticism and negativity than development, with little recognition of people-first leadership and different, positive leadership styles. Racism, and favorable treatment for specific individuals definitely exist. Overworked and extremely underpaid
