Pros

Free samples, if they remember to actually give them to you. Decent benefits, but they dont explain the choices to you before you make one. Good products, ok commission. Relaxed about tattoos and fun hair colors or piercings.

Cons

Unstructured days, hours, and duties. I had no idea what was expected of me as an Assistant. Catty, unprofessional management and that includes upper management as well. No communication, and if I had a question, no one could give me a direct answer. HR was so hard to reach. Half the time the checks weren't accurate for the amount of time I worked. If you make a complaint about another employee abusing the system or bullying coworkers, dont expect anything to be done. No decision making skills in management. You're just a number, and they dont care about worker happiness. On top of all that, the computers dont work and crash all the time. Sometimes tech wont even help. Shipments come damaged, with hazardous product leaking everywhere. Once again, nothing is done about it. Back room was full of brown recluses and nothing was done about that either. Just a terrible, terrible unprofessional company to work for. Wasted a lot of years.

Pros

Nice building, good cafeteria, rank and file are good people.

Cons

Poor pay, leadership says one thing and does another. They established what they wanted the culture to be and then didn't model any of it. CEO has replaced almost every VP and Senior Director and things were not improving.

Pros

Benefits , Paid Holidays, sick time, discounts, free products

Cons

The District Manager is awful she has 19 stores and can not keep up with them. I was hired and thrown in my store and she never helped me with anything. She came the day after Thanksgiving and stayed not even an hour. The only time she would call was when she needed something like help with others stores. She also had favoritism with a girl that had worked there for years and got away with everything.
