Pros

The overall environment is really fun. Being around makeup and skin care all the time is great. The customers are pretty good compared to most other retailers. Gratis is an awesome benefit. Co workers are fun. It’s a fun job if you’re just working part time with no intentions of growing with the company. Overall, my location really does live by their company values.

Cons

Operations team does all the heavy work but gets little to no recognition. Operations associates assist in ALL areas of the store performing multiple roles, but no one else ever helps operations. Hours constantly get cut even though the workload simply can’t be completed in the given time frame. Working overnights. Passive aggressive coaching over the walkies, bad attitudes, and coaching on the sales floor in front of customers. Things get talked about but never done. Promises get made and not kept. Over worked and underpaid. No dedicated time to development and training.

Not a professional company

Pros

Free products, gratis (sometimes these are actuall DIF products, which is nasty) PTO which legally you have to offer in MA

Cons

Management structure, zero accountability, not a company that takes operations seriously, i was told to fight for hours to do my job when four other managers would be sitting in the back during “office hours.” Our director was extremely unprofessional, routinely late, had i care called on her and then proceeded to tell the staff about it and how upset she was? One BA would routinely call out and was late but because she did her eyelash extensions I think she was never reprimanded. Health insurance premiums isn’t bad but the coverage is horrible, i ended up paying out of pocket for everything.
