Pros

Fun job if you have good coworkers, but the good folks don't usually last because of poor management and leadership.

Cons

The company consistently reduces employee perks and benefits while purporting to be "employee invested" in order to provide the "best in-store client experience" to stand out against competitors. How are BAs meant to provide a positive store experience when they're constantly hounded about metrics and other arbitrary choices made by corporate employees who have no idea what the store experience is actually like?

Pros

fun getting gratis and hosting in-store events, meeting brand ambassadors/managers, socializing with clients

Cons

manager created a weird environment -- coaching moments were sometimes extremely aggressive for a retail environment; strict on not applying makeup to clients unless they purchase a service. once made me move from a disabled client quickly because I was "spending too much time with them" and to further boost the store sales. felt extremely unethical.
