Pros

The other stylist you meet are super great people

Cons

management doesn't care about their staff at all, you can do them a favor and work a double shift and they will still try to not give you a break. The manager brings her kids into work all the time which is so un professional. The company doesn't do raises no matter how long you've been with the company. You get bonuses based on your reviews, it literally takes one person to complain to not get your bonus. Even if it's a complaint about waiting too long (because drybar always over books, the salon has 12 chairs and they hAve 17 chairs open to book) this also means your tips drop down a lot and if your fast you always get the clients who have been sitting for an hour. They pay you soo poorly from what they expect. I mean thirty minute blowouts on highly textured long hair? Really? All they care about is making money, not to mention that the management team bonuses from all the hard work you do. Stylist get nothing for all the work they put in.

Pros

Your fellow stylists are really awsome

Cons

-Literally work you like a horse, they do not care what so ever if you take a break, even if you are working a 12 hour shift!!! Im pretty sure thats illegal by the way. -They always have more books open then stylist, if only 3 stylists are working they will add 5 more ghost stylists, so basically no matter what the salon is running behind, which means if your fast you have the pleasure of dealing with all the clients who have been waiting for over an hour! sounds great right? -The shop educator does nothing but put down the team and tell you what a bad job your doing (even if you've been with the company for months) never a good job, or that looks great. its always can you go faster, your taking too long. -the manager is not even professional, i mean who brings in their kids to work? i didnt even know you could do that!!!! -oh and how can i forget no raises lol -they basically will promote anyone into a trainer or manager because NO ONE wants to take they position who has been there long to see the madness. so all the managers have been with the company for a total of five minutes. -constant turn over too overall this company is just a money hungry pit who abuses there stylists to make money. the pay is extremely low for the work you do and they have no concern if your back hurts, your sick or even throwing up they will make you work non stop.
