Business Outlook

Pros

50% discount on product, great health insurance, fair pay from fair store managers, flexible scheduling, reasonable about taking time off

Cons

Only company in the beauty industry that doesn't pay commission, constantly changing rules handed down from corporate, full-time employees mishandled, punishments for not meeting sales goals but no rewards if you do, corporate managers have no idea what it's like to actually be working in one of the boutiques.
