Svantaggi
-Very clique-y. Working with all women, it's inevitable. I'm just thankful the management likes me because my work life would be difficult otherwise. -Poor pay. They expect way too much of their staff for the amount of work that's expected of them. -Have to do janitorial work. Varies depending on the day, but it's common to have to sweep, run the floor cleaner, empty and take out garbage, mop the back room, clean out baskets, clean bathrooms, etc. -Many unfulfilled promises of gratis for jobs well done. -Have to con customers into signing up for Instyle subscription-- many come back angry later, waving credit card bill in hand. -Have a 99.9% female customer base guarantees plenty of bitchy customers. -Product training is limited to Prestige department, making it hard for the rest of the staff to have product knowledge. Prestige hours are the first to be cut, leaving the rest of the staff to answer many questions they don't know the answers to. -There's not enough time to do everything that's expected of you... -Schedules are constantly changed without notifying staff. Posted very late in the week as well.
