Toxic workplace - great staff discount

Store host

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Staff Discount is generous. For people who like beauty, you get to try all different products at work!

Cons

Extremely poor management from top to bottom - nobody seems to know what they are doing, especially those people who are in the Head Office. Too many gossiping in the store level, and no career progress whatsoever.
