Clinique reviews

Was hired part time, but was pretty much worked full time. I was hired, it seems, for the Christmas season. Was meeting my targets. Was getting excellent feedback. However, as soon as the Christmas season was over ... I was fired quite unceremoniously. I was used and discarded. Also, the counter manager seemed to have far too much power to determine my future. I feel like I am now effectively barred from all further opportunities with Estee Lauder. It was a shame. I was good at Cosmetics sales.

Compensation when you get into management was not good. They say you'll get a certain % of sales goals but if you make your sales goal which didn't happen offer as targets are too high. Targets were really high for the counter and also individually. They expect you as a manager to also hit personal sales targets File cards were easy if your a beauty advisor but they expect you to also keep it up as a manager. This was impossible as you had to coach your associates, plan counter events, make your counter goal, have meetings with the store management and also make your own personal sales target weekly / monthly. Work life and balance doesn't happen as you do a lot of your paper work at home instead of at work as you needed to make your own personal targets
