BENEFIT COSMETICS Employer Reviews

Benefit was probably one of the best experiences I've had, job-wise, in a while. I have experience in retail but cosmetics retail is so much different and I've learned so much about the business through this job. The products are amazing and I've used them for years and I was thrilled when I got the chance to sell them and share their greatness with – more... others. The girls I work with are amazing and we all have so much fun doing what we love together whether it's in the everyday work setting or during special events. I'd say the only downside and the hardest part about this job is working within Macy's. The company stresses numbers and getting credits more than anything and it's a lot of pressure but otherwise the job is fantastic. – less

working there was oknothing special.with they promoted from within but they dont sad but true. happy that i left when i did i hear it got worse. i did however love my coworker and i still keep in touch with them . the company doesnt care about you they only see you as a number they just wanna suck the life out of you.

I would get embarrassed when women of color would come to the counter to have their makeup done because I did not have foundation or eye shadow colors that were appropriate for darker skin. But I did have blue lip gloss!

Part time position in a mall, this counter had a very bad location and zero client flow so it was very slow.

Working with staff to service clients in achieving and maximizing sales and productivity.

part of the way through my employment with Benefit the counter I worked for changed Business Managers; from a very intimidating yet effective woman who brought that Brow Bar to #1 in the country. To a woman no one took seriously and it was hard to believe she was "the boss" who then drove that counters numbers to the ground (to my understanding I was – more... gone by that point).
There are always going to be catty girls and silly little dramas as egos clash with any job like this; but generally I got along with both the make up team and estheticians (I worked both sides) and my time spent there was pleasent enough.
Advancement can be very hard... or very easy depending on the type of women you are dealing with, for me I don't play the kiss butt games, I like my work to show for itself. So naturally in an (almost) all woman based career it took me a few months extra to get where I wanted to be (personally) but I can honestly say that while I was there it was a fun team and we were pretty drama free (surprisingly). – less

I absolutely love working for Benefit Cosmetics . I am only worried about job security . The management is awesome and my coworkers are lovely. I deal with alot of customer with involves being very personal.

When I started with Benefit Cosmetics,it was a small line within Foleys department store. I then branched out into the field as sales coordinator. I have enjoyed watching them grow into a huge,fabulous company!!!

working at benefit was great always fun and exciting always busy consent events for new product launches over all a good company

Regional manager sets tone for employees, leading by example. Unfortunately her examples are gossiping, sabotaging, manipulating, and lying. Due to her manipulation of HR she is able to keep her position, although cannot keep her employees. Fun place to work, great product, but unless you are a conformist not the place for you.

They shut down a brow cart and left me without a job. They denied me any compensation and got away with wrongful termination because they believe if there is no brow bar at that location then you have no job. They do not relocate you to another position. Your position is terminated and you will no longer be needed

I have been very fortunate in my career to work with so many smart and talented individuals such as Benefit Cosmetics.

I am part of the New Product Planning Team which interacts with all levels of the company and all departments where I launch 40+ projects per year. Each project is complex with multiple SKUS and can take 6 months to a year and a half – more... to complete.

All of my experience in Supply Chain Manufacturing is utilized to bring Benefit Cosmetics to the world! It's a lively, dynamic work environment where I can make a difference and positively impact the company and help Benefit reach it's 1 Billion Dollar goal. – less

love helping women feel lovely with a great product, love the atmosphere. Being in retail is made for "people/ people"

Great pay, the possibilities for advancement are non-existent, horrible communication between AE's, HR, and freelancers.
Company pays for food, hotel, travel time, and any expenses on out of town trips.
Amazing products!!!

A typical day at work consisted of traffic stopping customers and and brow mapping them with our 4 fake its and one fix its, Learned how to pull a customer and make a sale and double it by sitting the customer down and gaining their confidence. The management sometimes was not stable, when we did have consistency in made a huge difference. The hardest – more... part of the job was maybe trying to make sales when it was so slow. The most enjoyable part of the job was the clients that I got to build relationships with and stay in touch with. Also the cute events and costumes we got to wear during the events – less

Good place to work with advancement opportunities sadly moved to China.

I learned the ins and outs of the cosmetic industry. This company really supported our staff with all it's needs. Great company to work for.

Making curtomers love themselves and feeling beautiful when they leave.

Adorable makeup boutique and brow bar in the hear of downtown Los Gatos in Northern CA. Friendly atmosphere, great products and easy to sell.

Fun job, love it. Great atmosphere fun people. Always launching new products.
