CVS Health reviews

Low pay. No room for advancement. Raises are not good.

Beauty professionals are frequently expected to work outside the scope of their role, often functioning more as general retail staff than trained beauty advisors. There is limited opportunity for career growth within the beauty category, and training tends to focus on the bare minimum rather than developing real product expertise or artistry. In many locations, beauty is not treated as a priority by store leadership. Store Managers often operate with a purely corporate, sales-driven mindset and may not understand or value the role that trained beauty professionals play in client experience and brand development. At times, the role can feel reduced to simply unlocking product cases rather than delivering meaningful beauty consultations. Employee feedback and creative ideas are rarely implemented in a way that recognizes or credits the staff who contribute them. This can create an environment where motivated beauty professionals feel undervalued and underutilized.
