Pros

Great midtown location with access to Central Park. Decent benefits (health/dental/401k), though compensation is very inconsistent. Very generous product discount on all ELC brands (MAC, Smashbox, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, etc.)

Cons

If you're seeking the adult version of Mean Girls and high school cliques, this is the place for you. Unprofessional doesn't begin to describe the culture that exists at this company. Bullying and hazing go unchecked and anyone with a modicum of intelligence is ostracized. Those who network in through family connections fare very well and "fail up" to senior positions. Very high turnover in many areas due to browbeating and low morale.

Pros

Great management, people leaders! Friendly environment, reasonable expectations.

Cons

Not many cons. It would be nice to have more of a set schedule but I know that's not realistic in careers that are sales based.
