Pros
They pay is better than most retailers, it is a great place to start as a makeup artist, their training is hands down the best I've ever heard of for a company like that, bonuses are nice, just a really fun environment to work in in general, not to mention the fantastic free stuff. This really is a great company to work for, they do so much with the changing times, and everything pushes the stores and cast forward
Cons
They promote "hire from within" but that's not really the case; they will promote someone less qualified just so they don't have to pay them more; politics; there is room for growth but it will take you a long time to see any thing come from that; mgmt is never on the floor, always say their busy with work pertaining to the store, but if you walk to the back to get something they are always talking on the phone to family members, playing on facebook, or chatting it up, while the rest of the store is struggling to get to every client, and then the blame is placed on the cast for low sales or upset customers; not very professional, scolding cast when they do something wrong like children, also make cast deal with difficult upset clients when it should be a managers job; and communication is horrible as far as letting cast know the contests and upcoming events
