Phenomenal Product But Terrible Upper Management And Corporate Culture That Is Out Of Touch

Boutique manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The product is unlike anything on the market - it's unique and effective Generous employee discount Fun work environment Good benefits for full time employees

Cons

No work/life balance HR is in place to protect the demands of District Managers even if these managers break and bend rules in the handbook District Managers micromanage and are petty, unprofessional, and question your every move Leaders in the highest corporate positions are completely out of touch with training and sales techniques - it shows that they never spend time in store or listen to the needs of the team they employ Advances into higher positions are political (as they are in any work environment) - experience and running a strong business will not get you moved up with this company - it's all about who you know and how much you kiss up to upper management Unrealistic attendance policy Low wages

Great Company

Business Outlook

Pros

Great culture, puts the customer experience first. Bare has a service culture that is warm and welcoming.

Cons

Bare doesn't have a minimum purchase for make up application. I think this needs to change if you want to make money and maximize traffic, especially if you are going to hold your team accountable to those metric expectations.
