Pros

Time really flies by when you're a cashier. The lines. especially on weekends was insane so keeping busy was good. Management was pretty fair and understanding. No pressure to come in a work sick or if you had an emergency. The discount isn't huge but still nice, especially on clearance items.

Cons

The pay is ridiculous. $.7.50 an hour. It was okay for me because I didn't need to earn much from a part time job. If you really need to earn a living and need more than money for extras, this is not for you. The pressure to get people to sign up for Instyle magazine is horrible. One of my fellow employess was threatened to be fired if she didn't sell more magazines. I also felt like the customers were put off by it as well.

Pros

Great discount Gratis is good but having worked for Sephora as well, theirs is way better. Fun customers most of the time

Cons

Glorified babysitter when your team is incompetent Store can quickly become a wreck when one manager isn’t pulling their weight Too many hats in this role and way too overbearing. I thought I’d need to see a neurologist for migraines but it turns out I was just way too stressed in my role. ai. And a big push for more and more ai in the future.
