Pros

I learned so much from my VP that recruited me. I enjoyed working with top talent people and vendors. The benefits package was great but the other compensation lacked as the company grew.

Cons

Growth happened so fast and IPO ambitions were so dominant they forgot people drove the performance and lost great people because of it.

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.
