Pros

None that I can think of at the moment.

Cons

Old school, passive aggressive, micromanaging, managers. HR is not responsive to employee concerns. Employees and managers constantly talking about others behind their back. Most inefficient team I have ever worked with, who value working hard over working smart. They do not like procesa automation.

Pros

fun getting gratis and hosting in-store events, meeting brand ambassadors/managers, socializing with clients

Cons

manager created a weird environment -- coaching moments were sometimes extremely aggressive for a retail environment; strict on not applying makeup to clients unless they purchase a service. once made me move from a disabled client quickly because I was "spending too much time with them" and to further boost the store sales. felt extremely unethical.
