Pros

The customers are amazing! You get a lot of education and so many products that you need a storage closet. The hours can be decent. Being in an atmosphere that is within your education is great!

Cons

If you have kids or a family, this job isn’t for you. Although the hours are decent, in some circumstances you are expected to stay late and work longer. You may get paid overtime but the overtime isn’t worth it. This isn’t a corporate policy but if you don’t volunteer to stay late or work longer days in this area you are looked down upon and you’ll hear about how the store falls apart if you are not there. If you are sick, your kid is sick or you have any other problem that leads you to call in sick, you will likely be treated disrespectfully. Even when you work tirelessly and have sick time available to use at your expense. Be ready to give away your life to work at this location. It is not a job. It is a life. And a tough one at that. The pay is horrible for what you have to do and put up with. There is very little room to grow in this company if you want to make a lot. Moving up only takes more time away from you and takes a toll on your body. For the corporate side, they expect so much from a little store that could truly benefit and prosper from a larger store. This is a number driven business. Quotas are high and expected to be surpassed.

Pros

Easy job Discount Free samples(sometimes) Don’t have to deal with the public because it is only licensed professionals

Cons

You work alone for a few outs Also if you are scheduled Sundays you work alone. Some people come in and steal and it’s scary if you don’t know how to handle the situation. Especially if you are alone Even though you don’t have to deal with the public you do at the same time because some people come in and try to shop even though they don’t have a license.

Pros

Customers are really nice and they do sell great products in store.

Cons

Don't walk but run as fast as you can. The job is easy for the most part and customers are great .Upper management is horrible!! Be prepared to work open to closes with no overtime. My raise was literally .13 cents and that's with making most of my goals. They will tell you about the bonus structure, but the goals are truly unachievable. My first Red flag was how everyone stayed quiet, defeated, and miserable on zoom meetings.Before the economy took a turn for the worst they literally couldn't hold on to a managers. If you're completely desperate for a job, I can't even say I'd recommend one.
