MAC Cosmetics Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Sick time is good if you are full time, if they allow you to use it

I'm very save my money.

The 401(k) packages are great Most other companies offer the same thing

The medical benefits and 401k

Review from Sales Dept

Employee discount which is really high

Dental and 401K are the best part of my compensation package

every thing is more than good it's actually so so amazing

Health care coverage has lots of options

Review from Sales Dept

Stock, medical plan and bonus

I think thinking and problem solution.

That I get to use them. They are the best part of having a business and doing business with them all day long and then we get benefits from them.

Love my job, the huge discount and gratis! However being part time I don’t g

Review from Sales Dept

I get good enough to fulfill my family needs

I'm paid very well to perform at employment that I enjoy.

Everything is perfect for me

Review from Sales Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Pay is no longer competitive. With inflation pay is now redundant and you can even afford to live on the base pay anymore

Mac in the beginning was something beautiful, it was a family. Dedicated people made the brand what it WAS. In the end they threw those people out on the curb.

Because as a manager every month there comes a extra task for me to do.. work load getting bigger but no extra money

Review from Sales Dept

My pay is horrible. Ive worked here over 10 years and still dont have a promotion. I make the same amount of money i made 4 years ago.

I would appreciate more pay for the extra tasks and work load we have to do and I would expect better response time from higher ups

Absolutely undervalued. The attitude has definitely been "if you don't like it here we'll just replace you" even though I'm the highest performing member of my team.

Fair pay. Get rid of commission sales all together.

I just feel as an on call artist we’re not valued as much. I don’t feel like part of the Mac family the same way I did when I was permanent. I don’t have a brush belt anymore my discount was taken no gratis to try new product it’s disc

Mac will replace artists during a pandemic for less pay, sell off their jobs without care. the brand lost its heart

More gratis (we used to get more but it was scaled back), give us our benefits back (even just dental would be great) and the new 2% commission structure is appalling.

Higher pay for managers - my pay was not liveable with constant hour cuts

Yes. I feel that the salary should be reflective of your skill level and tenure within the business.

Hour cuts and neglicence protect the CEO from taking a pay cut.

A higher commission rate ... like ten percent

I have over 14 years of experience in my field however I have limited resources. Climbing the corporate ladder is near impossible. And my compensation is one of the lowest here in Texas.

We do makeup applications on clients and dont get pay for it

If we got a little more than what we deserve for commission because we go over the top and beyond for our clients

A more competitive pay rate with other similar companies, better bonus scheme and structure

Because we deserve more for what we do

Review from Sales Dept

I felt undervalued as a human being. I would feel better if my manager treated me than a human.
