Pros

The training at Bare Escentuals is amazing - One will attend a three day "Beauty Bootcamp" when newly hired, and attend Academy on a quarterly basis. What sets Bare Escentuals apart from other beauty brands is education - we are all about educating the client on product knowledge and application rather than simply applying their makeup.

Cons

Contrary to our mission statement of "We exist to make a positive difference in woman's lives," I feel the culture in our boutique is quite the opposite. With an incredibly gossip-y management team whom is very close knit, this causes an uncomfortable work evironment.

Pros

Great products, beautiful decor in the boutiques.

Cons

Store and Regional Managers among the worst I've ever worked with. For a company that touts how it's all about women, funny how high performing Beauty Ambassadors are told that they have to re-apply for their positions (at less pay) when they leave to give birth. There is nothing progressive about how this company is run - it's the same old tired retail mentality - workers are of little value, expendable and easily replaced. Too bad they don't understand the costs of hiring new employees versus retaining current employees that work hard for the company.
