Pros

Lots of glitz and glam, smells good

Cons

No training, everyone gets annoyed if you ask a question. You get hired as a seasonal employee and only get asked to work on the busiest days like Black Friday and get yelled at for no reason. The managers turn over quickly and the one I worked for physically pushed me, which is why I had to resign. She didn’t even think she did anything wrong or apologize for it. It is extremely intense the entire shift, you have to be on the entire time and you still get yelled at. Working here comes at a huge cost to your dignity, mental and physical health with pay that is barely above the minimum wage.

Pros

Good discounts on merchandise, easy work.

Cons

I would have loved to purchase some of their products conisdering the 40% off discount for employees, but they failed to pay me enough to sustain myself let alone buy from their store! I was getting paid about $150 every two weeks! They never notified me about how little I'd be working or about what my schedule would be like, my shifts were completely random. If you want a set schedule each week. this job isn't for you, you're lucky to get 1 shift a week that only lasts about 3-4 hours. Once again, my supervisors failed to mention this, thinking it was more important that I know how to sell products than whether or not I get paid enough to survive. I don't know why there was so much emphasis on selling merchandise to customers anyway, these products practically sell themselves. I had a lot of questions starting out since I was a NEW EMPLOYEE and all and had never worked a job like this in my life, but for some reason my supervisors failed to see this and instead made me feel ashamed and embarassed for asking the simplest of questions. They'd actually get mad and a little sassy at me for asking a question, like where a specific item was or how to do a return. I have to remind you, I had just started and my shifts were so sporadic it was difficult to retain all the info, so I HAD to ask questions.
