Pros

- Learning about new beauty products before they come out. - 50% off on salon services, and 25% off on merchandise. - Negotiable salary/hourly pay. - Chances to move up, or to work in different positions you may be interested in.

Cons

- Lack of direction when being trained. - Most coworkers I came across seemed unfriendly, and barely smiled even when around customers. - No benefits offered for part time employees. - You have to bring clear bags to keep your stuff in, get green dots on the bottoms of things you bring in from home, and a manager has to inspect your beg before you can leave work to make sure you didn't steal anything. Not only is it a hassle to have to wait around for an available manager, but it also makes you feel like a criminal. - Lack of hours, unless willing to work positions other than what you're hired for. - There are no employee discount cards. You have to use your paycheck stub to get a discount. Management also has to do the discount, which means you have to wait for them to come over to do it making people behind you wait longer in line.

It was like a rollercoaster

Pros

- Great gratis (if you earn it) - Fun coworkers - Flexible schedules - Room to grow

Cons

- Management changed often, and sometimes without more than a couple days notice to employees. - Rules and policies seemed to change often - Pay isn't very good, considering you have to be 18 to work there. I was started at $8/hr and got a .25 cent raise each year I was there.
