Freelancers don't get gratis though right?I don't think you get any benefits really.

At the time I was hired I was taking 22 credits & had 2 other jobs....so I guess they don't mind outside commitments, just tell them up front what you're available & what you're not.
There are two way that you get days to work-
1)When they do the schedule for the following week, if there are any shifts that are left unfilled by the permanent MAs they will offer them to you...this is how I get most of my hours now. It makes it a bit easier to plan life this way.
2)If someone calls out or they are really busy someone will call you & ask if you want to come in. You usually get about a two hour notice. They may call you on times that you said you're not availiable-my store rarely checks availability before they call, but it's ok to say no....even if it's a time you said you were available. The way it was explained to me in my interview was that if you constantly say no, they are going to call you less & less-they'll call people they know will be willing to work & give them hours first.
And, no, we don't get gratis....grrrr! hehe

Definitely! I was actually asked by one of the MA's to apply a couple of years ago, but was really happy in my job at the time so didn't give it much thought.

Hi i know exactly how much they're on as my best friend works in HN for MAC, she started off with 16,5k plus bonuses she's been with them for a year now and she is on a little bit more now. I'm soon to start working for them in a pro store but will be on slightly more, generally if you're good they will notice and promote you fast

I was just curious, what type of discount do you get on MAC cosmetics when you are an employee?

This may sound silly, but I've never heard the term "gratis". What does this mean exactly?
