Pros

Health Benefits, 20% merchandise discount, start salary $14 end salary $18

Cons

Do you want to be treated with respect and appreciated for you job? don't apply here. Let me give you a few examples. Store manager will have her clothing, including her bras and shoes in her office and diapers for you to clean up. She will also expect you get on you hands and knees to scrub the escalator. Visual team, contractors or whoever will move things around, fix things and you will get blame for any mess left behind. Aka you did not do you job properly. Make up area will have so many stains you think the sales people might be doing it on purpose. Specially around mac and charlotte tilbury. If you complain about being tired on in pain, the answer you will get is "you are always tired". Hr seriously asked me if I was new, after working there for over a year. They will also call you other names. Sales people does not know you exist. Except for the few manager that see you on the early morning (they were nice). Bazzile, Ebar and Habitant are supposed to clean up a little for you and move everything out of the way, this will never happen so don't believe the trainers. Constantly short staff because no one wants to stay in the job after 2-3 weeks there. So get ready to be call last minute and You will never get positive feedback about you job, you will only received the complains.

Pros

Good commission (for my department it was 10%), great coworkers—made amazing friends from my time here!! Opportunity for lots of commission $ during busy times.

Cons

Management is awful.. Plays favorites to an INSANE degree. For whatever reason I got onto the bad side of my department manager. Literally would call me into the office (taking away time on the floor to sell) to YELL at me until I cried for things that my coworkers got away with and didn’t even get so much as a talking to. Btw, what got me this treatment? Would be something pretty awful right? Coming in 5 min late. Big whoop. Also, management would promote people who quite literally had to take leaves of absence after having sexual harassment claims made against them… but then not only were they allowed to come back BUT also become floor managers. And what happened when he made it to that position? Literally got a sexual harassment claim again. I wonder how that could have been mitigated? The favoritism is so severe and unprofessional that when I was asking to get my job back for the holiday season I was told that there was nothing in the schedule available for me when in fact they were short staffed. And my coworker? The manager literally responded with “yes PLEASE 😍” yes. With the emoji. Grown man btw! Also, during that period the store was very shortstaffed with people quitting left and right. So, a lie.
