Pros

Great discount. Awesome products. Working with internal and external girlfriends. Super fun if you have a fun team! Sometimes clients truly make your day!

Cons

Not enough growth opportunity. Wish there was more artistry focus without steering away from our core "girlfriend experience." Sometimes the company does not follow through with things such as "certifications." attendance policy is very strict, giving the same weight to being tardy as being absent based on an "occurrence" system.

Pros

My beauty ambassadors were dolls, love them, sometimes fun when you're working with the right people.

Cons

The management is a joke. We didn't even have a district manager for almost 7 months, so nothing was getting accomplished in a timely fashion. Lost my second job because I had to attend a mandatory three day training OUT OF POCKET. That's $200 in gas, tolls, parking fees that they made me wait two and a half months to be reimbursed. That's almost an entire weeks pay for me. (pitiful, I know). Favoritism, management gives preferable hours to themselves and their favorite employees, management steals sales to outshine you instead of training you and helping you with your numbers. They give gratis, once in a while, and it's always the lowest selling items just so they can get rid of it, I once received gratis from boot camp that had actually been opened and used prior to me receiving it, and I didn't realize it until I got home. Disgusting. Constantly getting yelled at for things I didn't even do, just so the manager can exersize her authority. When I asked to apply for a higher open position in another location, I was scoffed at and told I wouldn't like it there. I was also told I hadn't been with the company for long enough to be promoted, but just a week after I had asked, my manager let me know of a position OUT OF STATE that I can apply to. She knew I just signed a lease, she suggested I relocate.......over 3 hours away. Caddy, caddy, caddy! bonus is a joke, you can keep your $60 bucks for me busting my butt selling $12,000.00 for you.

Pros

They have some good products such as original primer that i still use it though i left the company

Cons

Senior management are incompetent; they got rid of a lot of good performers. Job promotion is based on who can kiss up and kick down. They are not experienced and don't know what they are doing. Employee's turnover is huge. The company has lost a lot of money and market share. They have been in decline.
