Pros

nothing that I can think of now

Cons

If the big bosses like you, you can get away with more if they don't they will look for reasons to fire you. You can show up everyday on time and do your best and it's never good enough. Terrible management is the biggest problem. You won't have a chance to get promoted because they pick favorites so you have to kiss-butt to make it. Managers are mean, nasty, and rude towards you. They are very sneaky meaning they will all gain up on you. If you mess up on the cash-wrap they will snatch you off so quickly without telling you and will make up an excuse so you will never know why you can't work there any longer

Pros

You get gratis, everyone is so nice, the discount isnt too bad and you get to learn a lot about makeup and the different brands. If you are interested in makeup this job obviously is a great one to have!

Cons

you work with a lot of women so there sometimes can be drama, also the interview process can take awhile, especially if you're hired as seasonal and then asked to come on board permanently; you have to do more interviews for that. the training also takes some time, but its extensive and you will know what you're doing by the end of it. You'll have minimal questions.

If I wanted to be a cashier, I'd work at Target

Pros

Generous discount on amazing products, fun atmosphere, always something going on. Other than that, I wouldn't know because I was stuck behind the wrap desk.

Cons

Low pay, was hired as a Make up Artist but once there, I had to 'work my way up" to it. Are you kidding?! I've worked in film and television, with over twenty years as an artist... I was talked down to by staff and so called management. No Thanks.
