Pros

*If you are a beauty fan, you never have to worry about buying make up again. *There is a great focus on training when it comes to beauty, not so much for associates or management *Amazing discount, great insurance *Transparency through the company

Cons

* The work life balance is something that is talked about but not respected as the DM sends mass text message once a week if not more with no consideration of which GM may or may not be working. *Unrealistic goals- once you meet you goals, it is pushed that you do more, sometimes asking for 200% over goal. *Lack of appreciation *No budget for employee appreciation, it always came out of my pocket

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
