HR has restructered which has created some missed communication with tasks such as hiring and on boarding. It’s definitely a learning curve.
Advice to Management
From a retail support standpoint, the number of upper management positions, and type of positions should increase by volume of region. Senior retail manager position should return for corresponding mega regions that would benefit from the additional support in the field.

Pros
Exposure to industry, the training, the employees, and the MAC AIDS FUND.
Cons
Retail is retail. However, spinning it with artistry makes it bearable and meaningful. So holiday work schedule sucks.
Advice to Management
Keep your teams inspired and keep the DNA of MAC in all things that you do as a team and and a company. Keep celebrating the artists and managers for their successes no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Let artists be individuals and lead by example. One more time, lead by example.
