Pros

Let's see..Nope, can't think of any.

Cons

Overworked and grossly underpaid. Micromanaged does not even begin to describe it. Horrible hours and the "training" provided is a joke. If you like to work ridiculous hours, make practically minimum wage, don't mind working with inexperienced/incompetent people and have the ability to oversell products that under perform, this may be a great job for you. Otherwise - Keep on looking! (That's what I'm doing...but nobody will hire me with this dump on my resume!)

Pros

Great coworkers, supportive team environment, loyal clients, and valuable opportunities to develop professional skills.

Cons

I’d like to raise some concerns about communication and fairness. We are asked to communicate everything, yet often our messages go unanswered or are met with a negative attitude. There is also a sense of favoritism in time-off approvals. Last-minute scheduling changes have disrupted my plans due to lack of notice. I’ve been incorrectly scheduled due to miscommunication, and I’ve had intense shifts without reasonable breaks. Additionally, our manager consistently arrives later than anyone, often when clients are waiting to pay, yet she gives attitude to others for minor delays. On top of that, product management is often last-minute. We run out of supplies like products, creams, or paper, and it only gets addressed when urgent, forcing us to scramble between rooms. I’m bringing these concerns forward because I hope for a more consistent, supportive, and equitable work environment for all of us.
