Pros

A lot of freebies from training. Good people to work with. Fast paced environment. Prefer to pormote from within. Generous discount in the retail side of the store and in the salon. Corporate office is always willing to listen, even if they cannot help in the moment.

Cons

Company just went public and will anything to save a dollar....including cutting hours back so there is never any chance to have help on the floor to help the customers. Not enough training from vendors, so there are a lot of lines store know nothing about. Opening too many new stores. Should focus on the ones they have first.

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.
