Pros

After reading unflattering reviews on Glassdoor, I was a little skeptical of applying for a position with Bluemercury when I saw a recent posting. But since I love makeup and Im a beauty junkie, with retail experience I thought I would give it a try. Easy interview and within a week I was hired. My first day I was greeted by the store Mgr., given a small gift bag of samples, a name tag and we were knee deep in training. 3 months later and the sparkle has not rubbed off. I’m so glad I didn’t allow the negative comments to dampen my spirits. My store Mgr and fellow team members are really enthusiastic and create a party everyday. My DM is a little strict but she is all about the business and is passionate. She loves hearing our favorite tip and trick and is a true leader. Upper Mgmt is very hands on and is present. We are given goals and tools to succeed. If you put your heart and soul, skill and will you and your team can hit bonus.

Cons

Need more social media and marketing to drive more business to the stores.

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.
