Pros
- 4.5% commission sales on products at your counter, 3% commission on other beauty items. -20% discount on basically all items + extra 20% (20% and then 20%) about one weekend per month for "employee appreciation". -You are given lots of free makeup, skincare, and fragrance plus gratis every few months to spend on makeup at your counter.
Cons
-Preselling for gift with purchase has really high sales goals, and you basically spend a month begging people to spend hundred of dollars on items they cannot have until gift goes live. Make sure this is fully explained to you in your interview if you are looking for a position at clinique or estee lauder. -Managers are VERY annoying about credit cards and app downloads. -The holiday music is agonizingly terrible. -You have to wear a provided uniform for Estee Lauder and it is very uncomfortable. -On busy days you will be pulled to clothing checkouts and it is terrible. Be warned if you're looking to work in clothes. -They don't train you on makeup application very well, so make sure you have a solid understanding of it. -Belk is very "customer-focused", so rude customers always get their way. This includes being given discounts/freebies.
