Pros

I worked during the holiday season so it was fast-paced but I found it fun nonetheless. Best retail job I have had. They are dedicated to informing employees of new products and application techniques.Add that to the employee discount and it was worth working there for a season.

Cons

Being on-call most of the season was difficult to plan ahead but understandable considering its seasonal. That was the only con I found with the store.

Pros

Gratis and company provided uniforms

Cons

In our store cast members with no management experience are promoted over highly qualified older cast members. Store directors leave every year , forcing cast to adjust to new personalities. Too many people get promoted based on friendships with those in charge. Leads are not allowed to be on Facebook or interact with cast outside the store. Clients want help from someone other than a cute 20 year old.
