Pros

- Good benefits (lots of free products/gratis) - Good environment (friendly atmosphere) - Learned a lot (company is very big on teaching employees beneficial skills)

Cons

- Too sales driven (manager will always be yelling out sales numbers every hour on the hour) - Can get a little catty depending on where you work (I worked at two different locations, and I HATED one of the stores I worked at because the manager was all about drama)

Pros

-Great benefits -Fantastic brand trainings -Office parties

Cons

-It's insanely rare for someone to be promoted/move up within the company. If you're stuck in your role don't expect a promotion within the next decade. -High turnover rate. -No efficient use of time. Maybe if people stopped spending half their day painting their nails and placing orders things would get done. A lot of the corporate employees seem to forget that they're at work and not at the spa. -No more WFH. A few slackers destroyed this privilege so now the entire team must suffer. -Lots of office politics. If you're in a department that is deemed 'below' another don't expect to get a hello or even a smile. -Odd practices...everyone on the marketing team has zero experience in makeup application. The entire call center is makeup certified...yet they never utilize the artists/hair stylists. Rather they take looks on themselves which is always a trainwreck. -Dated practices. They still use a community fourm board...and have little to nothing on their vine account. -Salaries are measly. We get an end of the year bonus...but I'd forego that for a $2-3 pay increase any day.
