Pros

I love working in the cosmetics department, as my job is very fun and interactive. I have learned a lot about makeup, skincare, and fragrances. My coworkers are like family to me, making my job very enjoyable.

Cons

9$ an hour working full time hours is not enough to live on. I find myself struggling to get by, which leads me to searching for another job. You will not keep full time employees if you continue to pay that low. The standards are very high as far as credit goes. Without making your goals you are subject to a pay decrease.

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
