Pros

Hurly wage plus small commission. Very hands on, give make overs, can develop good customer base if you are good at sales and enjoy it. Keeps up with current skin care and makeup, but also carries the products they became known for. Good training. If you have a positive manager and district manager the job can be very enjoyable.

Cons

If it's slow the girls can be very aggressive trying to get sales. All female environment which at times can be hard if you aren't good at getting Along with an all female cast. You have a quota & if there's no store traffic it can be stressful. You can't create sales if there's no traffic in a department store.

Pros

lots of work so you learn a lot quickly, lean teams so you get to own a lot of project management work, interesting programs, great brand! very much so a 'sink or swim' environment - so be ready to work HARD -- get resume builder b/c its such a huge brand and you really do learn a lot b/c you have to!

Cons

low salary, minimal salary increases and bonuses/year; you have to be really really aggressive if you want to get promoted. management expects a lot from its employees however the incentives are really not there $-wise and promotion wise.
