Pros

Free samples, 30% off discount, flexible schedule, benefits for all employees

Cons

Gossipy coworkers and management, lack of breaks a half hour is not sufficient, micromanaging from upper management if quotas aren’t met, having to spend money out of pocket for bundles, lack of appreciation, very two faced. Promised the world and left disappointed in the end. No room for advancement. They will knock you down in hours to even consider giving a full time position. Was bullied out of my job and management was trying to get me fired for years. Underpaid for the work load. I would train the new employees on the cash. When management stops caring about their job the morale of the team is affected and does not make a positive work environment. Felt like I was on eggshells going there.

Pros

Trying new products Assisting customers with product recommendations Commission on certain items

Cons

The daily revenue quota was at times very unrealistic and unattainable. A lot of pressure was put on our team to sell x/dollars per day but sometimes it just wasn't realistic (bad weather, lots of returns some days).

Pros

The people I worked with were always really cool and it was honestly a very easy job.

Cons

Upper level management was too uptight about certain goals that were unrealistic for beauty advisors, but there was never any big repercussions. Too little pay for the amount of work I did.
