Pros

I worked with bare minerals for 8 years. They are big into education and making sure staff is properly trained. The customer service training is un like any other company and has helped me in my new career.

Cons

They started off offering part time benefits, then a few years back took away those benefits and only offered them to the SM and ASM. The only full time positions offered were SM and ASM, key holder and beauty advisors hrs were constantly cut.

Pros

Gratis, discount, friendly co workers & clients are loyal to brand

Cons

For starters. It’s December 2017, they’ve announced in November that bare will be closing 100 stores and they haven’t told us yet what stores are closing: they’re suppose to start closing stores next month (January) and they haven’t told us anything.. so we can’t plan for our future and don’t know anything that’s happening. Ridiculous!! Also we barely see our DM. Very limited opportunity to grow within the company. Schedule is how the manager wants it. They hire anybody even if they have no make up experience. Sneaky company that doesn’t care about they’re employers

Pros

The shifts are short and spaced out which means you don't get burnt out. Really laid back but still know what the expectations are. Good customer flow meaning a semi-moticated employ can easily keep their sale goal up. Awesome co-workers who love makeup.

Cons

While the schedule was flexible, getting more hours was difficult. Management changed multiple times while I worked here. Wasn't much time for hands on training so it's almost expected for an individual to have prior makeup skills before working here.
