Pros

Insight on new products Discount (I guess) Gratis Training Always busy

Cons

Horrible management that even supported bullying & personal vendettas against people. No work/life balance, they could careless if you have a family or not! Bad schedules that never gave enough coverage when we needed it. You had to wait eons for gratis & or beg for it to even get a tiny bit of it. In all regards they work you like a slave, wether it's restocking product, doing a skin iq on someone or even doing a color match for foundation. You could never come up for air, there was always something going on either with customers or BS drama with coworkers.

Pros

Well, free make up and an employee discount make everything a little better. Being surrounded by make up and other people excited about make up can be very rewarding. It's a mostly fun environment to be in.

Cons

The most inconsistent hours I've ever had in my LIFE. I've worked here for 2 years and I never know if I'm going to work 4 days a week or none! (And you need full availability, good luck having a second job!) It's hell if you have any bills. I only recommend this job if you are a student, bored housewife with a husband that pays for everything, or still living at home and never plan to move out. You can't trust anyone, and every little thing you do can effect how much you work. No one but management gets full time hours, and if you think you're going to get promoted, think again. It's a big game of favorites, no matter how stellar your performance is. If you can live off of $500 a month you'll be fine here.
