What does the leadership team need to get better at?
they are just disgusting bruh
Better communication with employee and upper management
Understand employees are people and want to work hard but not pushed to burnout levels
Review from Sales Dept
Understanding that people are not robots. Stop taking talented people for granted. Stop expecting people's life to revolve around a job in retail.
Upper management gives very little help and support in growth opportunities, rarely visits counters, and is vast majority outside hires, so someone who's never worked the retail counter and admit they"don't do makeup so they don't know what to help with". Clueless to inner workings that turn cogs.
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
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
there was a rivalry and envy, no teamwork
Review from Sales Dept
Passion, better work ethics, and opportunity for promotion. People don’t want to work hard
Review from Sales Dept
Less competition

What needs to change to make the company culture better?
SUPPORT RETAIL STAFF. Ask what they need, then actively work to deliver it in a timely fashion. No one knows better what you need to make a retailer work than the people selling the products.
MAC is owned by ELC, and as such is unfortunately subject to the elc garbage bin. Honestly would love to see them be bought out by a different brand (Coty etc)
Listening to the needs of the artist
Everything. The execs, the field team, and the way people are shown their hard work is appreciated.
Review from Sales Dept
A positive, inspiring Vision for the brand and supportive both frenetic work environment
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Just kindness. I think interviews should be 1on1 without extra people with titles commenting on every little thing because I hire people based off of their personality and drive and by the time they get to my store they're anxious and scared.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Management is disorganized and erratic. Multiple changes in the last few years, no clear direction
Working with team and education of employees is absolutely essential.
Review from Sales Dept
No future in the company. No opportunity for growth.
