Also, forget having weekends or holidays off. If you aren't anywhere near your goal they'd rather have you on the floor helping customers and selling. Unfortunately, when you are a permanent artist you are sometimes limited to how many makeups you do depending on how far away you are from your goal. If you love doing makeup like I do, that was amazing too. I was lucky enough to work with amazing, talented and fun people. The best thing about this job are the co-workers. Authenticity doesn’t live here and if you try to escalate and get help from HR you wind up talking to a newly hired person in that Dept who knows nothing. The managers in power at the senior and executive level are under qualified and unable to make any true decisions. There’s is absolutely zero effective change management at this company. They are very scared of people of color in Management or empowering them but they love leveraging them and LGBT for SALES. They will use your energy and excitement for being there then go the opposite direction. Making my primary challenge - my own Company. I completely overhauled my store in less than a year and took my own work experience and made it a place where we practice what we preach - but my regional manager worked and continues to work against me.

A lot of women of color have made MAC what it is - yet you’d be hard pressed to see us in the board rooms or running things at the Senior Level. Other makeup competitors are releasing better quality product and are more in tune with their customer base. There’s something very sketchy happening in this Company right now. Growing up in NY seeing the Company come up and now working there as a store manager - all checked off the “dream come true” boxes for me. MAC was predestined to be a pretty revolutionary game changer in makeup and artistry.
