Pros

It's a woman's home depot! Everything you need to feel beautiful under one roof. What's not to love? Great makeup at your fingertips (Both high end and commercial mass products), professional artist come in to show you newest trends, a salon in house to get pampered, and GRATIS!!! It's like being a counter manager of 16-20 counters. As the Prestige Manager position is concerned, the company is moving to a part-time model for all new stores (with a decrease in pay from their full time counterparts). But there is great growth potential as new stores open every year even with the poor economy.

Cons

You are not a salaried manager with fixed hours. You will be paid hourly and your full time hours can range anywhere from 30-40 hours. There is no overtime, and don't work any because you will be written up and/or not paid for your time. Getting the prescribed training completed can be very difficult as payroll hours can vary, and often training hours are cut to aid floor sales. You would think you'd invest the training hours as consultants would sell more on the floor. You will have to become creative on how to train your associates while they are selling on the floor.

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.
