Pros

Nothing that I can think of. I quit.

Cons

They treat Estheticians horrible. I was there a month. I signed something to get a spa license however it was never posted on the wall. I couldn't get a clear pay scale in written or verbal. When I finally had a good week they said all they were paying me is minimum wage. WHAT!!! That's $7.35 cents a hour. I was told three different pay scales from different people since the interview. My sales were going under other employees numbers. I feel in my business opinion they are just using the spa as a tax write off. Such a huge disappointment. I'm taking my 17 years of experience somewhere that deserves it. And I wish I would have listened to the other reviews here on Glassdoor.

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.
