Pros

lots of free great stuff, free to try anything and access to many brands. Sample's of anything. Bonus is good when promoted to higher status

Cons

As a lead, your are not able to write up staff that is not productive, so it hard to get people to do their jobs without having to babysit like they are 12 year olds.

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.
