Pros

- some of the co-workers are great people and are fun to be around - gratis, whenever you actually recieve it, is always good

Cons

-The Management are completely and utterly incompetent - When requesting for time off if it is one day short of 14 days notice you are given grief about it or actually black-mailed (true story) - The pay is terrible for the job and what they expect given I have worked other, higher-end places that pay much better - NO COMMISSION, yet there are sales goals? that's laughable - Managers are rude 90% of the time and will blow you off if you have to correct your schedule or need something of them - A lot of talking behind people's backs and A LOT of jealousy - Unfairness! Management stands around and chews the fat but when you do the same for a couple minutes you are immediately told to "disperse" - Nit-picking over stupid things like the wrong pair of shoes - The entire dress code is actually ridiculous given they sell Revlon and other mass cosmetics. - There are cameras in every inch of the store yet they still treat their employees like thieves when in reality, the customers are the ones doing ALL of the stealing - There is no communication between members of management. If you tell one person, it will never get back to the store manager or another manager. No matter how many times you remind them. - When you do a job well done you are never complimented, they focus on the negative only.

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.
