Pros

Decent discount, working with luxury product, can be fun if interested in makeup/skincare, learned a decent amount about cosmetics.

Cons

-My manager did not let me take a day off to go to my close friend's funeral after their sudden death unless I confirmed that someone could cover for me. I was not looking for paid bereavement as it was a friend, but my friend and I were the same religion and my manager did not let me observe my religious customs for grieving those who pass away. I was not paid enough to be told I cannot do that. She didn't even offer her condolences. Her response was "okay, when are you coming in?". I do not feel supported. -There are often robberies and other situations that put employees at risk. Again, the management did not ensure that we were all okay after a particularly scary incident. -The policy that you have to find someone yourself to cover for you even for emergencies is wrong and should be changes. Overall terrible policies. -Pay is not good. -Not enough breaks. Only a 30 minute break for working 8-9 hour shifts. -While discount is decent, it could be better. -Toxic work environment where I felt I was walking on eggshells constantly. -No formal training. -Severe lack of communication. Incredible disorganization.

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.
