Not going in a good direction.

Pros

Was able to build an amazing team, store was turned from a bottom performer to a top ranking store within 6 months of taking it over. Best part of my job was my employees.

Cons

Judgemental environment. Not the typical retail drama, more catty. High turnover rate in roles outside of district manager. You never know what someone is saying behind your back, even if you feel like that person in the moment supported you. Management outside of boutiques were passive aggressive and didn't know the boundaries of what's appropriate to speak about to employees and what crosses the line.

Pros

Staff discount, most team members are polite and helpful. The products are pretty fantastic even though the brand seems older and not trendy,

Cons

If you're high up you're fine. Everyone is pretty two faced and horrible Communication is awful. No one seems to stay in a job for long. HR aren't helpful one bit.

Pros

Fun to work with makeup and teach clients how to use, free gratis and teaches you how to properly shade match people. Connecting with clients and making them feel beautiful inside and out was my favorite part of this job!

Cons

-No holidays or weekends off. If you even try to request off it's a joke. -No extra hours to give everyone other than the managers. -Hiring a bunch of young girls who only want to work 4-15hours a week. -Cannot grow within company, they'll hire someone outside the company before promoting someone thats been there longer. -They took out the beauty bar so no more 20 minute "make unders". *-When bareMinerals outlets changed to Bare + Beauty by Shiseido that completely destroyed the whole "girlfriend" experience which bareMinerals was widely known for! Thanks to Leslie Blodgett for selling out her own company that is now doing terrible! - They would ship us old holiday kits that gets sent out from other stores..aka kits that nobody wants or needs from! -They wouldn't send us anything new or exciting, its been the same kits for 3-4 years now.
