Pros

•easy work •simple training •30% discount •most of my coworkers are pretty cool

Cons

•I'm 99.9% sure I am being retaliated against for asking for one day off every other week even though my SM has been VERY cool about it in the past. I work three days a week and after asking for one of those days off every other week, I have not only been bumped to two days but also 6-7 hours A WEEK. •this is not retail, it's sales. Metrics are everything and there is no incentive to actually keep them high other than an extra $2 if someone is approved for a credit card. •they won't give you overtime and there's no fulltime positions in my entire district *except* for management roles, not even ASMs get fulltime. •you will never hear praise, only "you can do better." •CCs are supposed to get a minimum of 20hours.

Pros

Trying new products Assisting customers with product recommendations Commission on certain items

Cons

The daily revenue quota was at times very unrealistic and unattainable. A lot of pressure was put on our team to sell x/dollars per day but sometimes it just wasn't realistic (bad weather, lots of returns some days).

Pros

The people I worked with were always really cool and it was honestly a very easy job.

Cons

Upper level management was too uptight about certain goals that were unrealistic for beauty advisors, but there was never any big repercussions. Too little pay for the amount of work I did.
