Pros

Growing company with a lot of outdated senior management. This growing company has departments that are growing closer to retirement and dust in the wind rather than with the company.

Cons

Lack of leadership, Poor Management, Retaliation are just a few. Company has managers clock out for "lunch" but does not allow them to leave the building- to control unpaid "rest" time. Request employees to work while off of the clock. Was told you will receive approx. 15-20 hours weekly on avg. only to receive 8-10 hours on avg. After each work shift the manager has you wait by the front door before you can leave so that they can "check" you out causing you to add up to 10 minutes more to you shift being unpaid. Hostility from corp management causing employees to always be on edge. Poor inventory control process. Poor DC process. Poor IT department. Poor HR department. Poor LP department. Poor Guest service department. Poor Training!!! No work/life balance as they claim. You WILL receive phone calls on your days off and be required to take conf. calls on your personal time using your personal phone.

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.
