Pros

Knowledge of make up trends Gratis Discounts for employees Availability of the make up testers on the floor makes it a "playground" for girls

Cons

pay raise 60 cents in 3!!! years promoting employees is based on personal relationship and liking ridiculous constant cleaning cutting hours based on personal reasons \ disliking ridiculous coupons and Instyles Unrealistic expectations for all duties Hiring more people when there isn't enough hours to begin with

Pros

Great discount Gratis is good but having worked for Sephora as well, theirs is way better. Fun customers most of the time

Cons

Glorified babysitter when your team is incompetent Store can quickly become a wreck when one manager isn’t pulling their weight Too many hats in this role and way too overbearing. I thought I’d need to see a neurologist for migraines but it turns out I was just way too stressed in my role. ai. And a big push for more and more ai in the future.
