Pros

When store sales and payroll are met, there is a bonus. If you were at a busy store, you always got a bonus they would come every other month or so.

Cons

Operations managers were required to work ridiculous hours. You are supposed to be a "team" with the other associate manager, but they have no responsibilities compared to what you are responsible for. If you work with a GM that hates their job, you will hate yours even more. Upper management is always changing and there is no consistency with rules or standards.

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.
