Pros

- Prestigious in terms of professional makeup used in the industry. - Great gratis given, and given often. - Freedom (for the most part) to span the floor and offer help when and where needed. - Good opportunity for experience with hands-on demonstrations to actual clients. - Product incentives provided when great service or sales is observed. - Huge variety of high-quality brands you're encouraged to try out and recommend.

Cons

- The employee demographics are dominantly female, and in my experience, co-workers and even management have shown very catty sides. Definitely noticed some ****talking. - Standing around for hours upon end, especially when business is slow, can be a drag. - In my particular location, hours were extremely hard to come by during some months. Some weeks, I was only scheduled a day or two when I'd requested 4-5.

Pros

They pay well. My supervisor was great at allowing employees to have a work - life balance. Good ability to advance.

Cons

Sometimes management did not announce opportunities within a reasonable time frame. It is retail, and there is not a lot of status in that type of position.

Pros

lots of fun if you like beauty - lots of freebies- perks and easy job. Teaching is great- extra videos for learning new techniques.

Cons

hiring from within is not done so much in order to move up. I wish they would look at thier hard working employees and move them up the latter easier.
