Pros

Great fun WHEN you can work. The Director that hired me was great and super excited to have someone with my knowledge base working there, but the new leadership seemed to be somewhat intimidated by someone who knew more.

Cons

If you are a straight man it seems that this company is not comfortable with you. There were only 2 straight guys and one was a manager but at least 6-8 makeup wearing guys, I know I was far better at my position than any one in the store and sold several times the volume, but yet the other seasonal "guys" were kept and I was pretty much shunned without even a face to face discussion.

Pros

I worked in the digital department. It was a hard adjustment at first with the fast pace, completely different vocabulary/ acronyms for everything, and the ever changing initiatives, but I loved it once I got used to it! Management has high expectations, not a great work/life balance during Holiday, but not bad either. Bonus is EXCELLENT. I made friends there that I still hang out with outside of the job. Gratis is great too.

Cons

With so many changes, it was hard to keep track all of the time. Management's expectations to make it work even when it sacrificed the team's efficient process was challenging at times, but always came together ok.
