This company is racist

Pros

I would never suggest a friend to work here, I wouldn’t even suggest my enemy to work here

Cons

This was the worst job I ever had. There is no support from management at all, they will not respond to you. You will not get a raise, even if you have consistent good sales. This company is racist, discriminating and disgusting, they clearly favor certain shades of people over others even if your have good numbers, good time management or degree etc. They also favor employees that have no backbone. Upper management will retaliate against you if you attempt to speak up for yourself in any way. They will withhold your pay and sick time. There is no time and a half for holiday work, they overwork their employees and people quit within weeks. Discount is only 30% which is nothing because pay is low. You might meet some good people while you work there who are suffering along with you, only positive. Do not apply for your own mental health.

Not Worth It

Pros

Decent discount, working with luxury product, can be fun if interested in makeup/skincare, learned a decent amount about cosmetics.

Cons

-My manager did not let me take a day off to go to my close friend's funeral after their sudden death unless I confirmed that someone could cover for me. I was not looking for paid bereavement as it was a friend, but my friend and I were the same religion and my manager did not let me observe my religious customs for grieving those who pass away. I was not paid enough to be told I cannot do that. She didn't even offer her condolences. Her response was "okay, when are you coming in?". I do not feel supported. -There are often robberies and other situations that put employees at risk. Again, the management did not ensure that we were all okay after a particularly scary incident. -The policy that you have to find someone yourself to cover for you even for emergencies is wrong and should be changes. Overall terrible policies. -Pay is not good. -Not enough breaks. Only a 30 minute break for working 8-9 hour shifts. -While discount is decent, it could be better. -Toxic work environment where I felt I was walking on eggshells constantly. -No formal training. -Severe lack of communication. Incredible disorganization.
