Pros

I've worked retail positions on and off and understand the nature of it. The difference here is that the store team I worked with really seemed like a family and we all worked for each other. I really love makeup and art so the combination was great for me as a makeup artist. I came in not knowing how to sell, just what I liked. I liked that I was trained by the brands that we sold (everything from makeup to skincare and even hair products and candles, etc.). Overall a great experience. Had to leave to move with my family.

Cons

Weekend work but that is normal with retail jobs.

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.
