Pros

Management leave you alone (sometimes) and you get to work with other employees who are equally as frustrated as you are. But when you are surrounded by other employees who have great personalities, the job can be fun.

Cons

I worked here as a sales associate selling basic cosmetics for approximately 4-5 months. The training itself was very helpful - I learned a lot of information that I needed to know in order to sell the product. One day was dedicated to training, another dedicated to having an experience manager with you on the job so you can shadow her, and learning from other employees. But overall this was a horrible experience because this Shiseido chain located all over New York and New Jersey is called "Damoa Shiseido" and the owner is quite honestly, horrible. She treats employees like slaves and hovers over them all the time. The pay is lousy and the amount of mental harassment I received from the owner was not worth the trouble of holding onto this job.

Pros

Collaborative team at the IC level Nice product perks and gratis Decent long-term stable company

Cons

Mid-level management feels stifled by ED and VPs who've been there for 10+ years without change and don't use modern leadership technique or philosophy. Unwilling to change their antiquated ways despite asks from Executives to modernize. Unclear leadership directives.
