Pros

Cosmetics. It's hard to get a job at a cosmetics counter, and I was pretty excited to land one. I know a lot of aspiring make up artists want a counter job.

Cons

The credit goals are terrible. I feel like I am taking advantage of people every time. No one wants this card except for stupid people who already have bad credit. In order to reach goals many employees would trick customers into thinking that they were paying with their own debit card, and only APPLYING for the card, not charging their purchase on it. Completely, totatlly unethical.

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
