Pros

Product knowledge, friendly staff, flexible scheduling,

Cons

You get searched like a thief everyday when leaving..its embarrassing! Way too many "specials" in the salon..so earning commission is a JOKE!! Giving 50% off services every 2 wks doesn't build faithful clients...it builds CHEAP clients! It absolutely makes NO sense for a office in Chicago, to control the temperature at the stores in CT!! Why? Foolery!

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.
