My day
Account manager (Former Employee), House of Fraser Plymouth Devon – February 27, 2013
Pros: 50% discount on all products sold in the lauder group of companies
Cons: long hours, 3 out of 4 weekends, bank holidays including boxing day
A typical day at work involved preparing the counter & team for business making sure the counter and all the products on display were clean and the shelves were fully stocked to achieve the maximun of sales, making sure the team were up to date with their product knowledge to ensure we / they were all promoting brand awareness of estee lauder and any – more... new product launches.

The most enjoyable part of my job was dealing with customers and knowing I made a difference to their day by changing their perception of what they expected from a beauty advisor, leaving perhaps with 1 / 2 products and just enough information to want to return to the counter on another day remembering my name.

The hardest part of my job was dealing with staff who were not passionate, seen the customer as an inconvience to there tea break / lunch time, and gave customer service at cash and wrap level. what I learned most was it's important to be a friendly and approachable manager but not to be there friend. – less
