Pros

Bare minerals are generous with products and gifts. Training is always good. Look after you well.

Cons

Once you have a baby - career over. Was business manager. When I left to go on maternity leave I felt like I was getting the sack not leaving to have a baby. No good luck, no card nothing. No contact with the company until my baby was 8 months old and only then as I contacted them to see what was happening about my return to work. I couldnt return full time, therefore was told I could not return as manager - would have to be part time but they werent sure if they could offer the hours. Also wasnt allowed to return to the store I was working in so had to return to a different department store. My pay was dropped to little over minimum wage and I had a lady from a different cosmetic counter come in as my manager. Rotas were messed up and I ended up working 4 full days a week. I told them if I had wanted full time I would of returned as manager and been paid alot more! Decided to leave and look after my children full time. It was a shame as I loved my job but just wasnt the same when I returned.
