Yes, we got a discount. This was always the number one question I was asked when I worked there. And no, we can't share our discount with you. Let's just say the discount is huge. Whenever there was a new makeup collection coming out, we got most of the new product (this started to dwindle when I left, but you still got some).
Twice a year we got to pick whatever we wanted from the whole store. How much you got to spend depended on if you were a full-time or part-time employee. MAC wanted us wearing the product at all times, as customers usually wanted to know what we were wearing. So they made sure we had everything we needed and then some.
Some of the other perks included but were not limited to participating in New York Fashion Week, the Grammys, and our own MAC industry events. If you were a star retail artist, you could get flown to participate in MAC events around the world such as in Hawaii, Barcelona, Paris, etc. They really love to reward their top artists.
