Pros

Only positives are occasional gratis and employee discount.

Cons

Management is completely awful. Everyone is out to blame others in fear of getting yelled at by The VPs. There are no performance reviews and absolutely no discussion of upward growth and career development. On any given day in the office you can hear someone down the hall yelling at another employee about something he or she did wrong. In the year I was with the company, I did not meet a single other employee who had anything nice to say about working there. Blue Mercury has an awful company culture where everyone is set up to fail. Computer systems are outdated so very equipped, intelligent employees are left doing busy work for 8 hours a day. The work is truly degrading. If you actually have buying or planning experience I would highly recommend avoiding working here because I guarantee you will not be exercising any relevant skills (unless you include troubleshooting oversized excel docs LITERALLY all day a relevant skill). If you care about your career and have intentions to succeed BEWARE and DO NOT WORK HERE. I really wish I had read these reviews prior to accepting a position here so hoping my review helps others. The work life balance is also pathetic, at this company no matter how hard you work or how well you do your job, you are looked down upon if you don't stay late every night. Benefits are also minimum and insurance is expensive.

Pros

Business hours and get to meet some great clients

Cons

Lack of recognition for hard workers. No pay increase. Some employees are getting paid 30+ an hour at most stores and complain about a couple of cents from pay increase where people like myself is getting paid $10 less with no pay increase. Full time employees will do the most work more than anyone else, including management. Management also receives the most recognition over the employees that do the most work. This company has been bought out by Macy’s so I don’t think they care to hear what employees have to say.
