Pros

Easy tasks Fair Wage Nice amount of hours per week Gratis Opportunity to bonus Nice people Good Product Training

Cons

Higher Management is constantly changing their focus in three month periods. The goals they set for each store are unrealistic and even though no stores in the area are meeting the goals, the management still pushes the store managers until they are stressed to their limits. This in turn, trickles down to the PTSAs. This wouldn't be so bad if they were focusing on sales numbers, but it's never about sales numbers. It's always about who can sell the most of one product. The company isn't very green with the way they dispose of old products and testers. They pour them down the sinks or throw them all into a trash compactor. If you aren't into giving people 'mini- facials' then you might want to reconsider applying. This company hosts several events a year that feature giving people facials, awkwardly in a directors chair. Depending on the store you work at, majority of your shifts will be spent alone for long periods of time.
