Pros

I loved working with cosmetics and loved my team. I had a great counter manager and colleagues. I felt that I gained a lot of cosmetics product knowledge working at the Bobbi counter.

Cons

During the interview I asked many questions to clarify the meaning of their rotating schedule. The department manager gave me very vague answers and did not explain it fully. After working a few months I realized it was nearly impossible to schedule anything in my personal life in advance. The rotating schedule did not have much order or structure, it constantly fluctuated. The cosmetics department had very high... turnover. Employees were constantly resigning or getting fired, which made the tension very high.
