Very professional
Aesthetician (Current Employee), Green Bay, WI – February 28, 2013
Pros: you get benefits even if you are part time
Cons: lots of pressure which is very different then i got before
I feel like i am not there for long enough to make any serious comments. Learning a lot about retail. In skin care you always very retail oriented but i feel like this is giving me that extra knowledge and different experience that is very interesting. The most challenging part for me is to learn all the math requirements that i never was responsible – more... for before. Love all the co-workers that I work with everyone is very friendly. – less

Great Company to work for
Associate Consultant- Part Time (Current Employee), New York, NY – January 9, 2013
Pros: season work, great company
Cons: don't think there is any
I began work with Clinique back in 2003 for additional money to help put my son through college. I learned through this job how to evaluate problems ladies had with their skin and then recommend the the necessary products to address their issues. Also, i would teach the proper application of makeup techniques as well.
The most enjoyable part of this – more... position was to see how customers would learn and appreciate your knowledge that gave them the end results they desired. – less

Clinique
Beauty Advisor (Current Employee), New York, NY – December 12, 2012
Pros: gratis
Cons: long hours
I've only been with Clinique 2 months, but I've learned a lot and have certainly enjoyed the gratis! The downside is definitely the long holiday hours, we're working 6 days a week, 10 hours a day. All in all, Clinique is a great stepping stone into my next career adventure!

Clinique Counter Manager (Peebles) (Former Employee), Murfreesboro, TN – October 5, 2012
Pros: gratis!
Cons: n/a
Estimated and recorded projected sales for that day. Reorganized inventory and replenished exhausted supplies. Adjusted inventory/ordering list accordingly.

Being a part of the management aspect of Clinique was – more... both exciting and exhilarating. There was something new everyday to make things interesting. There were so many challenges with this job but nothing was ever too hard to do. I loved my job! The most enjoyable part of my job was getting to know so many great clients everyday.

At Clinique they go beyond selling product to their clients. Each experience is a personalize consultation and learning experience. The consultants address customer concerns with a personalized consultation and teach their clients how to bring out their natural beauty. A large majority of the consultants have been with the company long term.

Everyday was a new day

Pros: free make up
Cons: not a set schedule and worked every weekend
Helping people to achieve better skin and helping them learn how to apply the right shades of make up from the foundation to the color of eyeshadows was a regular day.The hardest part would be when the store was dead and you had to get on the phone to make a sale so you would be able to make your daily sales goals.The part I enjoyed most was being able – more... to teach a customer tricks to applying make up and seeing her back with better skin. – less
