Pros

The salon discount is great if you can afford it with a second job.

Cons

Hours get cut like crazy even though store is on or above budget. Expected to give wow experience but hard when there are a total of 3 people working. I've been in on my off days & no regular employees working all were management. Training is a joke. Prestige is expected to train the rest of the employees & get scolded when you haven't been able to do it. Well working 4 hour shifts a week, with being the only person on floor, & getting hours cut left & right make it very hard to achieve. Lack of communication from upper management even direct area managers. Pay is on the low side when you come in with extensive experience, you still get paid what Joe Schmo with no experience gets paid. I used to love shopping here prior to working there now I hate going there & will most likely shop elsewhere.

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.
