Pros

Gratis, nice co-workers, exposure to new products

Cons

Unbelievably mean store director, terrible pay, hours cut from week to week depending if the store makes its sales goals. A LOT expected with not much in return. A company who only pays and cares about the top executives, pays retail associates close to min wage and cuts your hours whenever they feel like it. SO many rules on the floor i feel like im in kindergarten class.

Pros

Hires are generally outgoing hardworking people Fun company to work for Beauty perks are a plus If you treat it as temp work and have no expectations of being hired on full time you'll love it.

Cons

You have to work on all Holidays including Christmas Eve and New Years Eve Ramp up for Holiday and promotions so be prepared to be let go after the promotion is over.
