Pros

The aren't very many pros to working at this company. About the only pro is the wide variety of benefits they offer

Cons

Always slow, the company has too many strict rules, have to request off 2 months in advance for more than one day off at a time, if you request a day off and didn't give them 6 week notice for it they will deny it, I saw people get fired for the littlest things. They say that they care most about their employees, this is a lie, their customer is always prioritized and they don't care about your well being. They advertise that you get pay and a half on Sundays which seems nice, but in reality if you work a Sunday that week, you'll get less hours during the week to make up for the time and a half that they are paying you. Loss prevention basically acts as a manager, you cannot have friends or family visit you. My friend came in to visit me, there was no one in my department and I was still watching, everything was clean and organized and after about 5 minutes of my friend being there LP called and said that I'm not paid to stand around and do nothing and he was timing my conversation and that my friend needed to leave. The company says they focus on their employees and that is the total opposite.

Pros

The discount was decent 30% and the deals were good. Bonuses were decent and cash prizes for contests. Gratis for managers usually perfume.

Cons

Dress code is terrible. Not allowed to drink water or chew gum on sales floor. Constantly watched on camera by managers. Long shifts ok your feet constantly. Usually not enough help. No leeway with clocking in. Customers were very difficult. A lot of sales pressure and credit card pressure. Not s very comfortable atmosphere to work in. Made you feel uncomfortable and scrutinized.

Pros

You meet some great people.

Cons

A miserable place to spend your life. Absolutely do not recommend it to anyone. And if you ever get into cosmetics...beware of the devil Vanesha Church.
