Pros

You can buy things with IOM points Free trips Free product trial Decent discount Some really nice customers Good first time job Easy Fun place to work Dress code isn't too bad, just black pants and a smock really Leniency on piercings/tattoos Don't have to do your own inventory

Cons

Low pay, even with experience I started at minimum wage SMALL raises every 6 months Extremely rude customers, on the verge of having to get law enforcement involved because we were being stalked/harassed High risk of being robbed, even in a very nice location Long hours, 9+ High turnover 4 employees or less for one store is TOO FEW Not great scheduling Too high of expectations for the pay A lot to learn Customers think you're all trained beauticians, but you're not District manager is INSANE, sits in the parking lot even on days off and harasses the store

Pros

My store manager and team were wonderful! If you make the right moves you can move up the ladder reasonably quickly,

Cons

You can move up the ladder quickly because turnover is so high. Management will lie to you and tell you whatever you want to hear to keep you from leaving. Your experience is entirely dependent on who your store manager is and if they are willing to advocate for you. District management does not care about employees.
