Pros

Only good thing about working for BM is the gratis you get from the different makeup lines. But not worth the daily torture you receive.

Cons

Zero maternity leave. Yes, you read correctly. And yes, the CEO is a woman with a family. You're promised 34-36 hours a week as a full time sales associate. But weekly your hours get cut to 28-31 (if your lucky). You only make commission if your store makes goal. Which is never. High expectations and zero respect. Huge lack of communication between managers-high up and store managers. There is a large turn over rate for employees because of how poorly you are treated. No control over your schedule. It is a mess all around.

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.
