PLEASE, IF YOU SEE THIS POSTED ON INDEED RUN!!! THIS COMPANY IS GOING DOWNHILL FAST UNLESS YOUR STORE IS LOCATED IN A MALL SETTING. UNLESS YOU NEED THE EXTRA CASH OR NEED A STEPPING STONE TO GET IN THE MAKEUP WORLD, APPLY ELSEWHERE. TRUST ME!

Your life becomes this company. They will burn you out until you have nothing left. Corporate people are selfish and they will over work you especially if you’re in management. They are fake and will talk behind your back to your manager. They will under pay you until you threaten to reach HR. If you do a good job they’ll make you close on all of your shifts. I dreaded coming to work every single day. The employees transferred from other stores wanted the store to fail and only focused on the success of other stores. The gossiping and cattiness was unreal. This job made me miserable.

Overall a very numbers driven environment not much care for The artistry aspect of the job. Retention is poor because associates are expected to sell and meet expectations with very little hours and little to no advertising or marketing from the company. They prefer to hire from the outside then to promote from within. Very disorganized company overall and left little to no work life flexibility.

The work environment is very messy and revolves around gossip. Management is especially poor. The store manager is rude. You get paid poorly. It’s pathetic. You will have management judge you based off if they feel you are “ugly.” It’s super unprofessional how business is conducted. It’s made to pin the associates against each other. There’s no sense of teamwork. I would never recommend this job to anyone.

At elf Cosmetics we were able to build the company through retail. A typical day at work is extremely busy all the while still being creative. I have managed to help my team to use their talents to help the company grow. As a manager it can be extremely hard to balance the work load but I manage to get it done by the deadline. The most enjoyable part of my job is watching my staff grow as individuals creatively and in the work place.

supervisors have their favorites (family members) which do no work, dance throughout the warehouse, eat, play music and break rules meanwhile the rest of the people working get thrown to the wolves when work isn't being completed on time. Breakrooms are crowded, bathrooms are always out of service. Management is blind to anything going on. Constant fighting and drama amongst coworkers, maybe because its full of 18-20 yr olds.

The staff was absolutely amazing. The best management I have had thus far. I learned a lot about makeup, skincare and customer service. However, all the company (retail stores) shut down with ZERO notice. That was the most hurtful part of this experience. I can't believe a company would just pack up and leave.

The worst company I've ever worked for! Don't waste your time here! Management sucks, they don't value their employees. They stay making promises to associates that they cant keep as far as advancement in the company, bonuses in 3 months that will never happened. Key holders make less than sales associates, this company is just backwards!

telling the supervisor you have arrived, cleaning and checking all work space areas and makeup tools. Help assist customers and give demos of products

a day at elf cosmetics consists of assisting customers,helping them to find products and doing makeovers that are booked for that day and cleaning as we go. Over all experience working at elf is pleasent.
