Unqualified managers or leads that are not specifically from the beauty industry, unprofessional unqualified staff, no guarantee on hours so flex hours and short breaks.

Pros

- Discount on make-up - Smells good in the store - Freedom to wear your makeup the way you want

Cons

- 20% discount and you don't get as many free products as they claim - No training on products - Terrible management - Competitive co-workers - Rude customers - No room for advancement (most upper management are hired from outside the company) - The hours they give depends on meeting sales goals, so if the store doesn't reach the goal, you don't get the hours. - Schedule is not followed so work/life balance is incredibly unbalanced
