Pros

Company benefits like anonymous help, college help if you're full time, and other things i never used were potentially great. I worked in a town where i knew most of the people so working with that demographic was easy and enjoyable for me. I took pride in my store, considered it my store, even though i was only training as an assistant manager. There's a lot of work to do at all times, and its a great place to get experience with every aspect of how a retail store is run.

Cons

So many times people have broken the rules and that's fine, cell phones on the floor, taking longer and un-clocked breaks, being.. human. The store has so many requirements for such little pay that of course employees are going to treat it like a minimum wage job, when they aren't paid whats TRULY deserved for the work required there. Managers are overworked and underpaid which leads to tension and a general feeling of "whatever" by almost everyone. Employees talk smack about management, and management talks smack about higher management, and so on. I guess you get that with any business, but with such small stores and high expectations, if employees were paid more, i feel a lot more would get accomplished and the turnover rate wouldn't be so high.

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.
