Pros

The pros are the only reasons that I am still with the company. The gratis is nice, discount is enough and better during the holidays, education is good, and you make excellent connections in the beauty industry.

Cons

They boast that there are career opportunities yet they are few and far between. Current management is atrocious. If your availability isn't enough so that they pretty much dominate your life then you're going to either not be hired or "let go". You have to be there for year otherwise you can't be rehired. They don't care if you are a trained professional whatsoever.

Pros

fun getting gratis and hosting in-store events, meeting brand ambassadors/managers, socializing with clients

Cons

manager created a weird environment -- coaching moments were sometimes extremely aggressive for a retail environment; strict on not applying makeup to clients unless they purchase a service. once made me move from a disabled client quickly because I was "spending too much time with them" and to further boost the store sales. felt extremely unethical.
