Pros

I had a great manager, which made the job bearable. Flexible and understanding. Good trainer. She was fair to all employees and conscientious. If you are in beauty school or just need some some extra money its okay. Employee discount was good.

Cons

Low pay. Everytime I was due for a raise the state raised the minimum wage and I got nothing extra! I was licensed and felt I gave away my experience, advice and knowledge for free. Got no commission or bonuses. The only incentive for store associates are to accumulate points to get free items on employee website. Point requirements were very high for most items. After two years of employment I got a scale, juicer, toaster, gardening item and $50 gift card! Hours stink! Open availability is expected and hours can fluctuate drastically. Job can be physically demanding.
