Pros

- Decent discount (25%) - Lots of gratis for prestige - Good relationships with customers - Received a raise for good review - Hinting at a promotion to Prestige Manager (Who knows, though!) - Sales aren't based on commission, so my team doesn't have to fight over the "good" shifts

Cons

- Severely understaffed in prestige and cashiers - We are a "lower" store so we get less hours, at one point I was getting NINE HOURS A WEEK! - Management treats our keyholder like a slave. She only closes, and almost always 5 nights a row (Wed-Sun!) - Being a lower store, we don't get full lines (ex. Benefit, Studio Gear, Iman) or much support from vendors. - It takes us months to get new testers of anything. - No recognition of any kind of job well done from management (except keyholder) - Keyholder is the only manager that has any relationships with our customers, also is the only manager to come out of the office for more than 5 minutes at a time - I get blamed for any fragrance theft, even if it shows I was in the middle of a makeover during that time!

Pros

When you have a good team and a good management team in your store it's amazing. The gratis is pretty good. Training on new product is great.

Cons

It's about profit and not the people. Now open on Easter and open late on Holidays. They expect there managers to only have off 1 weekend a month. The DMs are by market and every DM does things differently. There is a disconnect with HQ and the retail team. They grade you on customer coments. Only about 10% of customers take a survey. It's not fair to get bonous based on that.
