Pros

free gratis and decent office location in financial district

Cons

Very gossipy and cliquish group in Merchandising, would not recommend to grow your career here. Even the older female executives have the same mentality. The head of this department is a joke and needs to get over herself. She is not a humble leader and treats people like dirt. Sorry but true, I have witnessed on numerous occasions. Please find another beauty company to succeed at, don’t come here or you will be miserable.

Pros

fun getting gratis and hosting in-store events, meeting brand ambassadors/managers, socializing with clients

Cons

manager created a weird environment -- coaching moments were sometimes extremely aggressive for a retail environment; strict on not applying makeup to clients unless they purchase a service. once made me move from a disabled client quickly because I was "spending too much time with them" and to further boost the store sales. felt extremely unethical.
