Great cosmetics company, lousy department store to work for

Beauty advisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Clinique consultants are super-sweet and there's rarely any drama that you might see with other counters. Account executives and coordinators are tough but fair. Lots of training/continuing education seminars. Generous gratis every 3-4 months.

Cons

Unfortunately, you don't just report to Clinique- you report to the department store that houses your counter. And that's a whole different ballgame. Sales goals are usually ridiculously high, and you're expected to badger people to open credit cards and participate in pre-sale events. You are also expected to manage dozens, possibly hundreds of Clinique clients- you're supposed to call 10 clients a day and check in on them re: needing products, pre-sale, etc. I find this invasive.

Pros

Commission on top of base sales, Gratis, rewards for meeting goals

Cons

Make choices to benefit yourself as an individual, reprimanded for making choices to help the team, high sales goals from Macy's and Clinique, not a lot of gratitude from upper management
