Pros

Easy to use CRM system. Since Balani is a small, family owned company, so you feel as though you work closely with upper management. Upper management welcome feedback and new ideas. Good sales incentives for professional custom stylists to hit targets. Fairly flat organization chart. Less structure than a large company, which empower staff to get things done quickly. Exciting, fast-paced environment. Hard-working colleagues. Upper management genuinely care about employees and their well-being.

Cons

For those in a staff position (as opposed to sales position) not much opportunity to progress within the company structure or financially, according to upper management.

Pros

This company is comprised of positive, supportive and highly motivated people who sincerely want to see everyone succeed. A true team atmosphere, where communication is frequent, and advice on how to improve is only a phone call away. This includes all sales team members, management and even the CEO. The culture at Balani is like none other that I have ever experienced; this company is interested in taking the time to hire the right type of employees who are customer service minded and pleasant, rather than grow as fast as possible. Where most employees have become accustom to bosses, Balani has true leaders in their management team. Commission pay allows you to determine your income based upon the work you put in. I feel cared for and valued as an employee.

Cons

This job requires you to multitask. It's a lot of hard work, especially the first few months trying to build your clientele. It feels like you are running your own business at times, so this job holds a lot of responsibility and requires initiative without someone looking over your shoulder. You will be rewarded fairly for your efforts, and Balani supplies you with all of the tools needed to accomplish your goals, but an entrepreneurial spirit is required.
