Pros

-good benefits -helpful retail training -50% discount -always exciting new product launches -fun holiday parties

Cons

very long hours. you will work early in the morning until later in the evening. you notice the difference before and after the l'oreal integration. the management team at store level are very keen about kpi's. years ago the conversation used to just be about how to make the experience special for customers and now numbers are the only thing managers talk about which is very numbing. the spirit of the company is radically different since the l'oreal change and the former ceo's departure in 2023. there are some bullying in the management to be cautious of, especially at the high-end street locations. inflexible scheduling part time does not get any benefits. low pay for a major city
