Pros
Continous and consistent product knowledge/brand trainings. Support from Brands in education,gratis, and sales support. You don't have an individual sales goal so its much easier to just focus on the clients needs rather than youre own. You are working with some of the best luxury brands in the world and end up knowing more than most consultants at dept. stores. If you also work as a freelance makeup artist on the side you may be able to score some valuable gratis, in addition to the obvious free trainings from brands. Great benefits. good bonus incentives.
Cons
Because you don't have an individual sales goal there is sometimes a lack of motivation from the staff to sell consistently, therefore limiting your bonus potential. You won't make as much$$$ in comparison to the dept. stores consultants that sell the same luxory brands as you. Its a more objective company to work and that's really disapointing in a lot of ways come promotion time.
