Pros

-if you’re young and need something part time (3hrs-5hrs) -almost impossible to get fired (even though I’ve seen some very questionable things) -recommended for people who are seasonal or temporarily wanting a job

Cons

-terrible management -inconsistent hours -inconsistent work schedule -you won’t get more than 20hrs a week unless someone calls in and you fill in -if the store hits monthly the manager receives the bonus, you don’t get anything. Even if you helped with the upt severely, -you are borderline forced to sale 3+ items each checkout or get told something (even though some customers don’t want to spend anymore) -if you are mid shift and closing person calls in, you’re automatically the one who has to stay extra and close -Mondays boss has meetings there in the back they’re entire shift, so you’ll be alone -If asked if you want to be a color consultant just say no, you deal with more just to get a landyard instead of a raise -I’ve worked here for almost 2 years and the only raise I got was 15¢ (I’m not joking either) -employees love gossiping and talking about customers -“higher” employees literally love to sit in the back all day and don’t help with anything -if you become an assistant, you get extra hrs, no pay raise -highly recommend to know your stuff, or else you will have angry customers come back -out of my 2 years of working there I’ve seen so many people leave due to hrs, pay and inconsistency.

Pros

Loved working around beauty products.

Cons

Upper management and pay are horrible. Liked most co workers but some extremely lazy. Hair color training is lacking and the only thing they care about is sales, not a care if you mess someone’s hair up.
