Pros

Decent discount. Some really great sales associates and some managers that care. Nice merchandise.

Cons

I work in cosmetics and I feel that nothing matters except opening credits. My account executive recognizes that I work very hard, but management doesn't care about line. They only care about credits. I even have to stand at the door or go into the mall and harass people for credits. It is ver demeaning to me as a professional to have my value as n associate measured on how many credits I open. Everybody is scared to say anything. It is not a fun environment.

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.
