alright

Pros

the ONLY good thing is you occasionally get free gifts. in the seven months that i've worked there, i have gotten a bottle of Coach Poppy perfume, a $30 face wash, and some Laura Geller make up for free.

Cons

At first i loved it and it was a fun job, but with all the extremely rude customers that come in constantly, it's not worth it at all. The management is terrible. even if you request time off a month in advance, they don't give it to you and say that it's "your problem" and you have to deal with finding someone to cover your shift. All the managers are concerned about is getting customers to sign up for Allure and Glamor magazine. Most customers don't want to sign up and its reflected bad on us. the worst is during christmas time when i worked over eight hours in one day and only got a 15 minute break, even though i was on my feet all day. Managers don't care about employers. I once was scheduled to work a 5AM to 9AM then had school at 930. i recommend working here if you are extremely laid back and do not care about being mistreated by both customers and managers.

Decent place to work, but hard to advance

Pros

Company with strong performance in difficult economic times. Job security due to how well the company is doing, as long as you are performing up to standards.

Cons

Pay below similar positions at other companies. Hard to advance and/or get promoted. Performance indicators linked to review are not what your abilities reflects. You can receive low marks due to circumstances that you cannot control (ex. vendor issues, unpredictablity of retail market, etc) Company is growing and doing well, but does not see that trickle down to employees in the forms of promotion or raises.
