MermaidPrincess 4,039 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I worked at Mac for a few months because I needed to pay for summer school. I didn't have experience working in cosmetics before. The experience I had was working with cadavers and other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MermaidPrincess 4,039 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 How was it working for Mac? It was okay. I knew the manager prior to it so I guess you can saw I was a shoe-in for the job.. but the job was like any other job dealing with people. you have good days and bad days, and it's all because of the clientele. What you think of your job there could change almost instantly. some people are just vile human beings. what i liked was that i picked up a lot of make up tricks from my co workers even though they didnt like me, i liked wearing all black, and i liked that i didnt have to hide my piercing. what I didnt like was the ridiculous hours, and the stress that came from being pushed to meet a certain quota, and my catty coworkers.

That's what I'm worried about. Is it the same as Sephora, Macy's, Ulta, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day they are retail first and cosmetics second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
