Pros

-Lots of gratis (free product) -Bonuses when sales goals are met -flexible hours -great discount

Cons

-No benefits when working FT hours at PT status -Often short staffed due to hard partying employees who call in sick and never get in trouble for it -Daily reminders about how clients aren't happy with service due to short staffing, a rude employee, employees not being available to help b/c they're busy helping others and it is a reflection of the whole team. -lots of robotic cleaning -they will cut your hours without telling you or after the schedule has been posted if they aren't making enough money EDIT** someone just got hired with less experience than I, less responsibilities, and less on the job experience not to mention less time on the job for 62 cents more to START while I just got a raise, she still gets more. Talk about unfairness in the workplace - can't' wait to get out of here and move on.

Pros

Loved learning more about products and working with most of the other team members. Helping people find products that worked for them was really fun.

Cons

Managers are WEIRD. They play favorites and will talk about it while you are standing right there. Practically make you beg for hours. If you are anything other than the current viral makeup style look, you will get less opportunities. Leadership acts like mean high school girls. Working here took away a lot of my passion for the beauty industry for a long time. Also, when it comes to gratis - why are you letting certain managers walk out with 4 bags of things that they have hand picked? Then leaving whatever they discarded to be handed out??? Constantly had missing gratis from my bag because of managers going through the products they wanted. Scheduling is not flexible or even makes sense. Whoever they like gets better shifts. Would constantly have extra shifts added with no notice until an hour before the shift. Or shifts taken away because a favorite wanted them.
