Pros

Great discounts, great ppl, learn makeup applications, receive gratis at times

Cons

Had to teach management how to do their job, DM gets choice of who managers are in the stores not STORE management :/ Worked for FOUR years as cashier / lead cashier / AND part-time management then got passed over THREE times for a full-time management position and EACH time had to teach each of them how to do their job... doesn't seem right does it?

Pros

Gratis There are good hard working people that want to do well. I am still there (barely) because I haven’t completely given up that things will be handled/addressed correctly for those not aligned with company vision and expectations. However after 5 years of inaction it’s hard to believe that positive change will actually and maybe just maybe Myself and others that are dedicatedI will be recognized vs taken for granted.

Cons

No furthering development Keep toxic (leaders especially) allowing unacceptable behavior conduct and violation of company code Communication is very poor…it’s inconsistent,For example managers are not provided with direct email accounts so it’s a community email box. This causes a large amount of information to be read by the wrong audience and is not communicated if read by the wrong leader
