Fun but not much pay

Pros

The best part was my co-workers, discounts, and playing with make-up all day. You get marginal increases in your pay and it does add up over time. My managers were lenient and understanding for the most part. My co-workers and discounts were the best part of the job.

Cons

They do increase your pay as time goes on, which is nice, but it's not much to begin with. I took a lot of strange passive aggression from certain customers and management did not step up for me at times. There is also a culture of favoritism in upward promotion (company-wide). I wasn't looking to move up in the company, but if you are bear that in mind.

Pros

Great starting pay and you can almost always count on overtime as the management team is never fully staffed. Great discounts and great to work around all every girl’s favorite things.

Cons

Horrible company culture. Very toxic. Managers make it may be six months to a year. District managers are always looking for reasons to fire people to minimize people, knowing how awful they treat their employees.
