Pros

Gratis and peers, amazing products to sell

Cons

No payroll, too many tasks, unrealistic goals and expectations for stores. Holiday schedule is horrible...set schedule mandated by corporate. Associates don't get paid time and a half for working on Easter or Thanksgiving

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.
