Pros
I love working for my cosmetic line and helping my customers. I have a lot of regulars that I've grown close to. I've made a lot of good friends. Overtime is a non issue for most cosmetic employees and pay is above average. There is a 401K and different insurance plans. Schedule is made a month in advance and I like that so I can plan things accordingly. Im young (22) and they really make an effort to work with me on my schedule when I have things come up.
Cons
I worked in a clothing department for a short time while I had my interviews with my cosmetic line and I did not enjoy working over there. They send out 10 clothing racks at a time full of new product and expect it to be put away immediately. Managers are constantly changing displays and expect you to do it all. There is a SPH (sales per hour) you need to maintain. Its often reasonable, and the goal to get a raise only a few dollars higher, but they stick twice as many employees into an area so it can brutal. There is a lot of competition. In three months, I saw multiple people leaving the floor in tears, or leaving altogether. Credit is the most important thing and its become difficult to get them.
