Pros

Easier to leave job because positions are filled through agency.

Cons

Highly repetitious and in most cases very hard work. Employees are often pressured to work faster than physically possible, if not you get yelled at. Main supervisor of long standing only lives to yell and put employees down, has made employees cry in numerous circumstances. Very difficult to communicate if you don't know Spanish. Jobs are only available through agency with little to no benefits.

Pros

Management leave you alone (sometimes) and you get to work with other employees who are equally as frustrated as you are. But when you are surrounded by other employees who have great personalities, the job can be fun.

Cons

I worked here as a sales associate selling basic cosmetics for approximately 4-5 months. The training itself was very helpful - I learned a lot of information that I needed to know in order to sell the product. One day was dedicated to training, another dedicated to having an experience manager with you on the job so you can shadow her, and learning from other employees. But overall this was a horrible experience because this Shiseido chain located all over New York and New Jersey is called "Damoa Shiseido" and the owner is quite honestly, horrible. She treats employees like slaves and hovers over them all the time. The pay is lousy and the amount of mental harassment I received from the owner was not worth the trouble of holding onto this job.
