Vantaggi
The vendors (not CosmoProf) are always sending you free products to test, vendors also send brand trainers to teach you about their products. The store operation hours give you a fairly normal work day. That's really it.
Svantaggi
The systems/tech are incredibly old and impossible to operate; you have to constantly jump through hoops and do a ridiculous amount of steps to get even the most simple tasks done; pay rate puts you barely above the poverty line; company policies are constantly changing; when you're hired you're promised the opportunity to move up in the company easily, but my manager, DM, and TM were all outside hires so no real opportunities to go further in the company are given; no overtime allowed, and their overtime policies in general are confusing and total BS - for example, Sunday's are only 12-4 so if you're working Sunday, you have to come in on what should be one of your days off to work a 4 hour shift (with no makeup time off); calling out 2 times in your first 6 months is considered "excessive" and you'll likely be fired; the chances d getting a requested day off are slim to none; the "breaks" are laughable; benefits (vacation days/sick days/insurance) aren't even available until at least 1 year. I could go on forever honestly, but I'll stop there.
