Pros

Regular basic income. Will hire anybody

Cons

Mandatory overtime. Nearly no days off during blackout season (November 1 to January). Layoffs after blackout season. Get points for calling out (Even if you have doctors note). No real advancement. Unprofessional work environment. Last resort job.

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.
