Pros

I have worked here at the downtown Chicago location for several years. It has been so much fun and better than my last job at the department store at the mall. I am seeing so many of my customers that used to shop at the mall and now come to this more convenient location, right near where they live. Upper management has encouraged me to learn so much and I have enjoyed teaching my customers everything I learn. It is great to be part of a company that cares about its staff's and I have shared my knowledge with all my customers. Since I had joined the company they have continued to open more stores in Chicago area. I am proud.

Cons

The company gives out free products to the staff to try from the vendors. They have not given out as much free products this year (I love that part of this job, free stuff)! I love trying all products, especially when they are free.

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.
