Pros

pros? If you're lucky, gratis...lots of free products!

Cons

too many to name them all....constantly cutting hours, ridiculously high sales plans...impossible to meet but no recognition when exceeding last years sales plan.... Poorly paid employees, I know it's retail but with everything that's asked of the employees, better pay would go miles. Total lack of support from corporate including but not limited to DM's... dog and pony show when it comes to corporate visits....have to pretend that everything is PERFECT when in reality, nothing is. What a joke!

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.
