Priceline Australia Employee Reviews for Beauty Consultant

Good first job , very professional training but could only offer me weekend shifts as I was casual. Just depends on how the management is so every priceline is different

Good workplace

Beauty Advisor (Former Employee) - Lake Macquarie NSW - 9 March 2023

Great place to work, really depends on the vibe of your colleagues if you will enjoy your job.Some times lack of staff was an issue when doing beauty consultations but besides that a great job.

Very chill sometimes boring

beauty advisor (Former Employee) - Ballina NSW - 13 November 2022

A very slowed paced working environment and can sometimes get boring. I worked as a pharmacy assistant and a beauty advisor and on the days that we had no stock coke in for like 9 hours you just had to walk around the store and ask customer if they needed help + recovery on shelves, did get quite boring especially being there all day. Is super chill tho and got along with everyone most of them have been there for 5+ yrs, I was the only teen working thru the week so couldn’t really make work friends my age. Overall good job for partime but defs couldn’t do it every day

Lots of training of products provided and management are willing to teach if you ask

Beauty Advisor (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 5 January 2022

Loads of training for products available. Company reps come visit to do mini trainings and offer samples to try. Management and higher do seem genuinely concerned about their employees, and have a good relationship with unions.

Pros

samples of products to try

Biggest mistake of my life!

Beauty Advisor (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 5 June 2020

I was hired as a Beauty advisor for Priceline and was never properly trained on how to do tasks. It was extremely high demanding job that managers where never satisfied. They threw me in hoping I would just work it out for myself.. although I had no pharmacy background. I spent all but 4 days with another BA and I guess they thought it was enough training. The worst part about it is I never got to do anyone’s makeup!!!!!

Decent Workplace

Sales Assistant and Beauty Advisor (Former Employee) - Morwell VIC - 25 March 2020

bad on your knees and back, can be slow and customers can be rude but if you have a good boss and work mates youre fine. doing unders and organising shelves are boring, chemist warehouse is a huge competitor.

Regret

Beauty Advisor (Former Employee) - Gold Coast QLD - 15 October 2019

I regret working for Priceline. The management is AWFUL, they do not care about their employees one bit. They were so strict, I wasn’t allowed to talk to other employees in the store. I wasn’t allowed to go out of my designated aisle. And they would watch us on the cameras, so you couldn’t even try. So I would spend all day, every day, in my 1 aisle, without talking to any other staff. It was miserable. The training was also pretty slack, as this was my first pharmacy job I expected some training within the store, but they left me to my own devices. And just like a lot of other staff, working for Priceline made my depression and anxiety go through the roof. I’m happy I don’t work there now, but if I could go back in time, I would’ve never applied there. I wasted too many months of my life being sad and miserable, and they were months I will never get back. As for pros and cons, I can’t even say the staff discount is a pro, because it’s so low that you’re always better off buying something that’s on sale and paying the same price as the customer.

Pros

You get paid (the most minimum they could possibly legally pay you)

Cons

Everything

Teamwork

Beauty Advisor (Current Employee) - World square Sydney - 10 March 2018

It doesn’t feel like you are working when you work in an environment that feels like home and have colleagues who treat you like family. I do grow old with you; Priceline Pharmacy World Square.

Pros

Get to see, touch and feel new product before it goes on the floor in public

Cons

Salaries

Its ok..

Beauty Advisor (Current Employee) - Sydney NSW - 7 January 2018

I have worked at Priceline for 6 years now for different owners. It is obviously easier at some stores then others. Its usually constantly a busy store. Pros - Friends - Meeting new customers - Working with new products - Building rapport with customers Cons - Management/owners can be hard - You get put on shifts not in your workplace agreement and are expected to do the shift - Minimum wage - Have to seek most knowledge yourself - Expected to assist in areas that are not your department

Professional Space

Beauty Advisor (Former Employee) - Ultimo NSW - 26 July 2017

I liked how everyone who worked at priceline always put effort into their appearances as well as customer service well-being. The atmosphere at priceline isn't overbearing like most makeup stores yet it's not as dingy as your regular drug stores.

Pros

Proffesionalism

Warm friendly workplace

Beauty Advisor (Current Employee) - Perth WA - 6 June 2017

It really is like becoming part of a family. It is such a shame that upper management in the eastern states have no idea and constantly change things for no reason and make it very difficult for us to run the store.

Pros

Wonderful friendly colleagues and customers

Cons

Short staffed, high volume of theft
