Pros

-Amazing product -Loyal and passionate clients who come back to work with you -Name recognition -Changing to Delta Dental was a plus!

Cons

-Changes in management and the responsibility held by those in new positions (such as Sales Trainers) are creating confusion about what the overall message is, what the expectations are, and where to get support from. -Salaries offered to new associates are NOT competitive and they do not provide the proper hours to on-board new hires. -Health care benefits are TERRIBLE--high co-pays and high deductibles -"Paid Holidays" don't really exist (even though they are listed as a company benefit). If you choose to take it off, it counts negatively toward your payroll. -Using PTO also counts negatively toward your payroll. -Many as worried to seek advice from upper management for fear they will be "coached out the door".

Pros

Met some life-long friends, loved meeting great people, makeup is great, hours weren't so bad, and pay is decent compared to other retail stores.

Cons

MANAGEMENT! they do nothing but micro-manage and are more immature than a 13 year old girl. BEWARE, they are catty and do nothing but talk about employees and are awful at managing others.
