Pros

25% employee discount on everything in the store. I loved playing with all of the makeup and making women feel beautiful. I also really enjoyed getting free products and samples. You can wear almost anything as long as it is black and white.

Cons

Weekly two hour meetings were mandatory for prestige consultants. There was a lot of theft and the managers would expect me to go stop the thieves like I was a security guard.

Pros

You get a decent discount on everything in the store. Most of the people you work with are very nice. You learn a lot about a lot of different product lines and cosmetics. They do provide continued education. If you work in the salon, you get free services.

Cons

Their rules are ridiculous. If you clock in wrong three times, you get written up. If you want to trade shifts with another employee, even if it's on the same day, you will both be charged with an absence. They tax your cash tips. The base pay is just above minimum wage. Even if you have a full book and could work seven days a week, nine hours a day, they will still only schedule you for twenty hours or less a week to avoid paying you any benefits. The scheduling is erratic and has no consistency whatsoever. The general manager talks bad about everyone behind their back, but this might just be store specific.
