Pros

I wouldn't consider there to be any pros about working here...maybe the co workers that u meet but they pretty much make it hell

Cons

hire alcoholics who end up drinking the clients drinks in the back room (I mean real alcoholics) favoritism bullying harassment bartenders steal tips lack of respect. period. it's nothing but a sweat shop you are lucky if u even get to pee during your shift clients attitudes towards stylists suck management only cares about the shop being clean when they are about to get a bonus Drybar Bethesda is literally hell.

Pros

-The stylists are amazing. you develop life long friends with such awesome people. -clients are also amazing. For the most time very grateful and happy with their hair which makes you, as a stylist, feel great! -visually, it's a beautiful and positive work environment. The colors make you feel happy and the music is fun -spa water is awesome haha

Cons

-stylists are paid 9/hr which is hard to survive in a city like new york -there's only room for growth into management, you will never get a raise otherwise -managers are under so much stress from corporate coming down on them and they take it out on their staff -managers will literally open fake columns in the books to bring in more clients (even though that means there's no stylist to take the client) which results in us being understaffed, running behind, and not getting breaks -if the shop is busy you will not get a break, even after 8+ hours of being there. -they will have you work double shifts which can be like 14 hours - you only get their advertised "health benefits" if you work 40 hours every week for each quarter. if not you don't qualify. so basically, if you're sick (which is what health benefits are for right?!) and you have to take time off..you wont get benefits. -you don't get vacation or paid time off unless you're in management, and again the 40hr rule applies. -turnover rate is so high. there's ALWAYS new people because nobody is happy and leaves -staff is over worked because we are always understaffed.
