Pros

Casual dress code. Flex hours (for the most part). Café on site (although the food is questionable). Coworkers are friendly and helpful.

Cons

The new CMO/GVP has no clue how to run a department and cannot take any criticism. He does not know how to lead a team or make high level decisions. The entire company is a decade or more late to online business and are now playing catch up. They just had a layoff in April (apparently this happens on a yearly basis) and the company is restructuring, so even if you go above and beyond to do your work, there is always a possibility that you will be on the list of people they cut.

Pros

The people I worked with were always really cool and it was honestly a very easy job.

Cons

Upper level management was too uptight about certain goals that were unrealistic for beauty advisors, but there was never any big repercussions. Too little pay for the amount of work I did.
