Pros

Discount, pay, fashion, $1 coffee

Cons

Very poor development and review policies are unfair for product specialist in cosmetics. Sales people don't know how to do make up but make a lot more money. All they do is clerk. There are very few of them that work hard. They don't help to even clean counters or help clean make up brushes. Product specialists do 80% of the work while sales make more money. There's no development for business managers who sometimes do not have experiences managing. HR is also a huge problem. They say they promote from with in but you ask to work for another line and they give you the run around. If you want to transfer it's the same thing. Also their client system is super outdated. Got new registers with the same system, then what's the use.

Pros

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

Employee discount and free samples

Cons

A toxic environment where sales are almost zero because vendors are pulling their product off the shelf because their bills aren’t getting paid. They’re in the middle of coming out of a bankruptcy , if a client does come in, we usually don’t have the product to sell them ,only lines who are partially thriving is fragrance ! The hours are terrible. You get off work at nine and you’re expected to be back at 9:30 AM.
