Pros

There are some great opportunities to get new launch products free and to get many nice products at a discount.

Cons

If you are incompetent at your job or you happen to be a reject from a real beauty brand this is the job for you. There are no prerequisites to working here other than not being capable of being promoted elsewhere. The worse you are at your job the more job security you have. They will promote you to the skies because those in upper management know you are not competition and that you will stay because you can't make it anywhere else. There is no work life balance as I was disciplined for not answering my phone while at doctor's appointments, at the movies with family, while driving, while in no service areas of the town I live in, etc.

Pros

The products are just lovely.

Cons

They do not pay in line with other companies at all. Absolutely no training for staff, it is all self train. Not enough hours to coach staff, or have double coverage. Corporate offers no support, but wants unrealistic results. They spend far too much money on everything EXCEPT for tools that most retail companies have. Upper and senior management change all the time. There is no real vision. Lots and lots and lots of waste with failed projects, lack of product stock in store, etc., etc., etc. They are going to go under, as they cannot manage the stores they have the way they currently run them. Yet, they keep on opening more stores like that is going to fix things??
