Pros

-Very generous discount. -Gratis -Boutiques are beautiful -Coworkers were great! -Management was very kind -Many opportunities for advancement -Clean and fun work environment Overall, I loved working for Bare Escentuals! This position has opened up many doors for me in other areas.

Cons

-Sales goals were impossible for low traffic stores -Bonuses were very low for non-management -Many of the kits/items we had to push for the season did not work well with our area's demographic. Out clients were mostly conservative women in their 40's+ who are not going to wear silver and blue eyeshadow. We wanted more neutral eye kits to sell. While my coworkers were the sweetest ladies I have ever met, most of them viewed their positions as just a way to make a little extra money on the side. Many of them were housewives who were not seeking a career. Because of this, there was very little desire to go above and beyond in creating events that would bring in more clients.

Pros

Good benefits and a great product make it a really easy company to work for. Decent training for those who have no cosmetic experience. A great place to start for those interested in cosmetic sales.

Cons

Long retail hours\unrealistic goals based on stores performance in different markets. Bonus instead of commission for sales people not similar to others in the same industry.
