Pros

-GRATIS -makeup/skincare knowledge from the training you receive -training sessions are quite fun -fun, dynamic environment -workers NOT on commission so no cutthroat competition

Cons

-have to wear a LOT of makeup -really crazy during weekends -a lot of stealing to watch out for -cleaning the bathroom -stuff gets really unorganized -even if the mall is closed, we have to stay after if there are still customers in the store (especially if sales goal for the day hasn't been met) -Housewives that shop during the day are some of the dumbest people you will ever encounter. "So these are 100 points each? If I have 300 points, how many can I get?" Seriously.

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.
