Pros

competitive pay, benefits, free makeup skincare perfume, gratis, mostly working with women, yearly raise if your reviews are awesome.

Cons

Heavy workload, too much KPI to meet and theft is inevitable it will affect your wellbeing. Credit card is a priority that makes lead cashier turnover is high and especially if you are not good at opening cards. Payroll is not aligned to the workload that they're giving each store. Lots of drama due to many workers working at the same time esp. all women most of the time.

Pros

Gratis There are good hard working people that want to do well. I am still there (barely) because I haven’t completely given up that things will be handled/addressed correctly for those not aligned with company vision and expectations. However after 5 years of inaction it’s hard to believe that positive change will actually and maybe just maybe Myself and others that are dedicatedI will be recognized vs taken for granted.

Cons

No furthering development Keep toxic (leaders especially) allowing unacceptable behavior conduct and violation of company code Communication is very poor…it’s inconsistent,For example managers are not provided with direct email accounts so it’s a community email box. This causes a large amount of information to be read by the wrong audience and is not communicated if read by the wrong leader
