Pros

It's so lame for this company that their only real perk is gratis. THE GRATIS COMES FROM THE VENDORS SOLD IN YOUR STORE. NOT FROM BLUEMERCURY.... so this "pro" is a kudos to the brands themselves. Not the actual store.

Cons

You're hired without being given full info on benefits and pay. ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS. They will purposefully not tell you things. Like, no paid holidays, no time and a half, you'll work every Sunday and Saturday, requesting time off is punishable. This company does NOT set you up for success or value you AS A HUMAN BEING. They have very very high turnover because of their "scrappiness". Their DIRECTOR OF STORES ask their new hire managers to come on here and write good reviews at the end of the "new manager training". Hence the spurts of good reviews. MACY's now owns Bluemercury. Hopefully they will recognize how rotten the BM corporate structure is and they'll make MUCH more money when their people on the field are happy.

Pros

Business hours and get to meet some great clients

Cons

Lack of recognition for hard workers. No pay increase. Some employees are getting paid 30+ an hour at most stores and complain about a couple of cents from pay increase where people like myself is getting paid $10 less with no pay increase. Full time employees will do the most work more than anyone else, including management. Management also receives the most recognition over the employees that do the most work. This company has been bought out by Macy’s so I don’t think they care to hear what employees have to say.
