Benefit Cosmetics Employee Review

Very stressful for the wage

Account Manager (Former Employee) - Newcastle upon Tyne - 20 September 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?Good wages and allocation Good holiday allowance What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Too much pressure from managers to traffic stop people in the current financial situation monthly reviews with negativity from managers when targets aren't met What is the work environment and culture like at the company? very role play driven unrealistic situations somewhat false consultants Taking on young inexperienced girls as managers What is a typical day like for you at the company?Stressful as the counter was in a quiet store with not much footfall and the counter doesn't have a brow bar. So most of the customers in the town would go to the 2 surrounding stores with Brow bars.

Awful management, blackmail culture for sales

Account Manager (Former Employee) - Woking, Surrey - 18 November 2023

Loved the products & job role, but pressure to make sales is ridiculous, managers visit you every month or more, felt spoken to like Im at school, made to feel never good enough, area manager constantly tried to install fear into me to make sales in a quiet store e.g. extended my probation during covid, too pushy not worth your mental health. Unfair treatment and favouritism.

Pros

Allocations

Cons

Not paid enough for services

Worked hard for little reward

Account Manager (Former Employee) - Yorkshire and Humberside - 1 November 2023

Great training but pressure was very high. Not consistent across different counters. Worked hard for little reward. Area Manager constantly contacting on days off not respectful. Pressure to sell products because it was new but not right for customer. Higher-ups had favourites and they would be fast tracked progression and rewards

Pros

Free products

Cons

High pressure, terrible management, little reward

Not a very nice place to work at all, over worked, lack of guidance and change your character.

No work life balance at all, job is very misleading it’s all about sales and selling rather than actually caring about the customers wants and needs. They make you change who you are, you are almost forced to wear make up even if your not comfortable with the style.
