Pros

A retailer that offers an amazing assortment of products. That's what drew me to the company and the fact they are small and still growing. Loved brand trainings and learning about awesome brands.

Cons

Blatant favoritism. It's great when a store has a top seller, but that should not exclude them from doing less work than other people simply because they sell more. At the time I left, they were ahead of the person behind them by less than $1,000 for sales on the year. Manager of my particular store, complaints falling on deaf ears and atmosphere of my former store and company in general. I feel like that company doesn't have integrity. In a place where I once felt value, I left feeling like I was just a number and as my manager's review stated verbatim "I'll be able to find a replacement easily". Also hour cuts did not help the morale of the team nor allow you to give customers the best experience of "beauty elevated".

I can’t think of anything honestly other than I honestly believe there should be more stores.
