Pros

Get to work with cosmetics and beauty supplies. Get a fair discount on merchandise.

Cons

All the responsibility for the fiscal well-being of the store with no real authority to do anything about it. I cannot hire, fire, or discipline employees for unacceptable behaviors or work ethics, determine which products sell well and feature complimentary products to them, determine the inventory needs of my store, or any other essential function necessary for my store to increase its revenue base without consulting some know-nothing higher-up with no in-store knowledge on which to base their in-store decisions.
