Guys. This holiday season in beauty has just about sent me over.
Does anyone else think that the push for branding Beauty as a specialty goes overboard?
As a very introverted Beauty team member for three years, the changes made are making me increasingly uncomfortable as they are pushy about so much guest interaction.
Sampling seems like a waste of time half the time. Every Saturday and Sunday? It’s a bit much. Most of the products they want is to sample any more is ridiculous. No one is interested in petting Sophia brushes, fake lashes, or squishing the blenders. Plus we get no commission for selling. It would be better if we did sampling like once or twice a month.
The constant need for backup cashiers is absurd where I know so many of them are sitting at home unscheduled when they could be working. No, instead they want to try to save payroll and call people from other departments to help out every 20 minutes. I’m over that. A week ago my leader was angry I didn’t respond to backup and he told me cashier for the remainder of my shift which was 2 hours. Then he said “if you don’t like it, there’s the door.” Who speaks like that? Well, MOST of our team leaders do, that’s who.
I didn’t sign up for all this. This was nothing like what it was when I started.
Also, is it that necessary that we get corporate visits every what seems like other week, quizzing Us and making me feel uncomfortable and incompetent and doubt why I was even hired?
