Pros

Excellent training program. Well known line with excellent products. Easy to sell. Dermatologist developed. Fragrance free. Allergy tested. Lots of product gratis (I.E. every couple months they allow us to spend a certain amount of money on products for ourselves).

Cons

Very under appreciated. Unrealistic goals. Long hours. Weekends and holidays are an absolute must. Not a great job if you're a mom or if you have a family. You're time must be devoted to Clinique.

Business Outlook

Pros

Free product, frequent training, good products, lucky to work with seasoned professionals with very little drama, good product philosophy, lots of training materials provided

Cons

Retail hours (to be expected). Being on your feet all day on concrete floors, incredible high pressure to make sales goals, item per transaction goal, average expendable sale goals. havingt balance dealing with the retailer and the brand managers. You'rebasically expendable. No chance of promotion unless upper management likes you. Not enough coverage on the sales floor. You get sick of the restrictive dress code. Not enough help with gift with purchase. Extremely demanding for the pay.
