Pros

Gratis, can move up fast because of the growth of the company

Cons

Lack of hours for your team, highly task-focused, little recgonition, contests are weak and un-motivating ($25 gift card for store, one per district,, average store size is 25-30 employees, this doesn't get you far) Management are held to unrealistic expectations. Some stores are held to different standards, no consistancy.

Pros

Great discount Gratis is good but having worked for Sephora as well, theirs is way better. Fun customers most of the time

Cons

Glorified babysitter when your team is incompetent Store can quickly become a wreck when one manager isn’t pulling their weight Too many hats in this role and way too overbearing. I thought I’d need to see a neurologist for migraines but it turns out I was just way too stressed in my role. ai. And a big push for more and more ai in the future.
