Pros

Amazing company, great perks like the discount and rewards. The company makes is very easy for their employees to afford to shop there. My manager was always accommodating and understanding. She was easy to talk to and had great leadership qualities. My co-workers were fun to work with. You are not designated to sell in one single department. You're encouraged to sell outside of your "home" department for the best opportunity for high commission.

Cons

I worked in a small department with, in comparison to the entire store, less expensive items. Therefore less opportunity for higher commissions. Being on base salary plus commission helped, but even then, my checks were sub-par at best. The holidays were longer hours. Not a lot of cons, other than my department, which I could have transferred out of.

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

Employee discount and free samples

Cons

A toxic environment where sales are almost zero because vendors are pulling their product off the shelf because their bills aren’t getting paid. They’re in the middle of coming out of a bankruptcy , if a client does come in, we usually don’t have the product to sell them ,only lines who are partially thriving is fragrance ! The hours are terrible. You get off work at nine and you’re expected to be back at 9:30 AM.
