Pros

30% discount on luxury makeup.

Cons

-Horrible management -Horrible pay, they trick you and tell you when they hire you will get commission. This is a flat out lie, I worked for 2 years at 5 different locations across the east coast, no store will give you commission. -Poor ethics -Long hours and they don't pay over time, they will make you stay and yell at you even if you can't. -District manager will curse you out and scream at every employee if goals are not made for the day. She's a nightmare, whole company hates her.

Pros

Business hours and get to meet some great clients

Cons

Lack of recognition for hard workers. No pay increase. Some employees are getting paid 30+ an hour at most stores and complain about a couple of cents from pay increase where people like myself is getting paid $10 less with no pay increase. Full time employees will do the most work more than anyone else, including management. Management also receives the most recognition over the employees that do the most work. This company has been bought out by Macy’s so I don’t think they care to hear what employees have to say.
