Pros

Huge discounts - which makes you spend your hard earned money back to them. Discounts at their restaurant. No late working hours. Some staff are nice and friendly.

Cons

Snobby staff. Snotty customers Competitive when it comes to selling in your department. Every customer belongs to someone else so you're not allowed to make a sale. Due to competitiveness, co-workers get jealous often. Make a big sale and expect the others to notice it. They're not giving you a compliment on the good job you did, they are envious and wish it was them instead of you. It's boring. Most hours go by without any customer coming in. Don't expect to go anywhere, once you're a sales associate, you're going to be stuck here. Customers returning what they bought because of NM's crazy return policy.

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

Employee discount and free samples

Cons

A toxic environment where sales are almost zero because vendors are pulling their product off the shelf because their bills aren’t getting paid. They’re in the middle of coming out of a bankruptcy , if a client does come in, we usually don’t have the product to sell them ,only lines who are partially thriving is fragrance ! The hours are terrible. You get off work at nine and you’re expected to be back at 9:30 AM.
