Pros

the training, environment and freebies i love products so learning about them was a joy every day i also learned about skincare and this information was valuable to me to find a new job in a related field from the experience I gained and the information obtained hands on and in trainings

Cons

the management was not fair and did not promote from within they also went through about 4 store directors in the 2 years that I was there fired 2 women with years of experience and hired 4 men with no experience in their place after a new director (male) came in to replace the female director

Pros

fun getting gratis and hosting in-store events, meeting brand ambassadors/managers, socializing with clients

Cons

manager created a weird environment -- coaching moments were sometimes extremely aggressive for a retail environment; strict on not applying makeup to clients unless they purchase a service. once made me move from a disabled client quickly because I was "spending too much time with them" and to further boost the store sales. felt extremely unethical.
