Beauty Associate

May - August 2019 • Norwalk, CT

What I liked

I was able to work with customers that had the shared interest of makeup and beauty products. I was also able to fine-tune my sales skills, including getting credit card signups and membership signups. It's a very friendly environment and I thoroughly joined my time there.

What I wish was different

I wish that there was slightly less pressure on getting credit card signups, as - especially in this day and age - the average person tends to not want more than one credit card.

Advice

Once you get a handle on where everything goes and get into your groove asking people for their information for membership sign-ups and loyalty, everything will fall into place!

February 2019 - August 2022 • Fenton, MI

What I liked

The discounts.

What I wish was different

They don’t value their employees unless you make them money. The tasking team does a lot of the grunt work in order to make the store look nice and keep it fully stocked but they aren’t ever rewarded, only the sales girls are rewarded. This company promotes employees getting gratis (Free product) but again unless you can make this company money by selling product, credit cards or rewards then you’re seen as invaluable and will only ever receive the gratis that others don’t want. There isn’t room for growth as they are always bringing in outside people to manage their stores. Their pay is also extremely far from being competitive.

Advice

Stick up for yourself. Don’t allow this company to walk all over you and know your worth as a worker.

What I liked

This is a fun part time job to get my mind off of just school. I am heavily involved on campus and needed something a little outside of my comfort zone!

What I wish was different

I wish I was able to work more hours, but with school my internship and my other job it is too much.

Advice

I hope to be able to keep this job through college because they work very well with my schedule, and the discounts are great!
