Pros

-discounts -sometimes you get free products to try out

Cons

I can't speak for all locations but from what I experienced it seems like the whole company is toxic. -soo much gossip. Even from management and supervisors. -chaotic environment -hard work for little pay -customers expect you to formulate for them and tell them what they should do with their clients -sometimes times you are there by yourself and have to get clients checked out, answer the phone and help customers find things all at the same time. Super stressful. -standing all day and judged if you need to sit for a minute -i work as a hairstylist and also did this job part time and was judged for not being there as much as the full time employees?? Managers would make condescending comments about how it must be nice that I get so much time off and regularly had to explain that I work TWO jobs. -i did not feel comfortable working here, I experienced condescending comments from management every shift.

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.
