Pros
The customers are loyal, and it's a great start for a career in cosmetics.
Cons
Having to push Macy's rewards, unrealistic sales goals, calling customers for literally EVERYTHING, pre sales, events, thank you's... Not a lot of upward mobility unless your in the "in-crowd", or the manager really likes you. Raises are based on performance which is typical, aside from the fact that you have a score sheet which tallies all your return client visits which need to be 15% of your sales, your credit apps, your sales goal, and things like that. Also be warned, I've made some great friends in cosmetics but it can be very "high school"... Drama, back stabbing, generally narcissists who are great at being fake, lol.
