Pros

Generous 40% off discount on high-quality products. The company makes each employee attend two training sessions at the corporate office in NYC to really understand everything about the products and how to sell them. With each new campaign (every month) you get one or two free, full size items from that campaign...which is awesome. I've learned a lot about skin care, which is nice because I've incorporated it into my own daily routine. They pay really well for a part time retail job. Plus, 95% of the time you get 8 hour shifts so you are guaranteed to get a decent amount of hours per week.

Cons

Every employee is treated as a key holder therefore everyone is treated and expected to do all the work managers and assistant managers do. My issue with this is that as a part time sales associate, I do the same amount of work/paperwork as managers/asst managers and don't make the amount of money they do. Company requires too much paperwork to be completed each opening and closing and even throughout the day. In my opinion, this should only be completed by management, but again each employee is required to do it. They are extremely strict about how you sell products. If you don't follow the "Always" with every single customer it can be an issue with your manager depending how relaxed they are.
