Best skincare in retail!

Business Outlook

Pros

Loved the products, free gifts to try out new products. Estee Lauder (the parent company) rewarded us generously with a gratis twice a year. And loved how they always kept us educated in any new products not just by getting it in store but actually going up to corporate for educational classes to gain the skills and knowledge to then use in your store.

Cons

Sometimes you have to deal with catty people in the retail environment. Sometimes we'd get a district manager who was from corporate office who was just out of touch since they were more focused on the Estee Lauder cosmetic counters rather than Clinique. (But not all thankfully)

Pros

The people here are great and the reason I stayed so long. They all do really care about each other and the company as a whole tries to foster getting out of your bubble and meeting other people around the company.

Cons

It is a very reactive environment. Senior Leadership is always disrupting workflows with feedback making it difficult to meet deadlines or move forward. There is poor communication of consequences to feedback at inopportune times.
