Pros

I have worked in the headquarters for almost a year now and truly love where I work. There have been reviews on here about how there is no heart and soul and it is a yelling match. This is not the case. Bottom line is in the business world things change and new leaders are brought in to take it to the next level. If you don't change you don't stay relevant whether it's in the beauty industry or any other. Yes change is happening here but it's not bad. It's a great thing. Change is what makes a person grow and can challenge themsleves. I truly love my team and coming into work to say hi to everybody. Drybar is my family. When I have had tough days my team and those around me cheered me up. I get to work in a awesome environment and have some laughs throughout the day. There are potlucks , Frisbees being thrown over my head , and doggies running around. We have the we trust work environment where no one is breathing over your shoulder watching your every move, but where they all trust that we will get work done and we do. It's always great to see Michael and Alli around the office and I am proud to work for their company. They care about their employees and even did a heartfelt surprise for us last week during our town-hall that I was just in awe about. The people are great, the products are great and I see longevity with this company. I want to grow and make a impact as my colleagues have. It's one thing to be frustrated with your job it's another thing to try to tarnish the name and that's not right. There is heart and soul, this is a family, my Drybar family.

Cons

Sometimes the free flowing environment can be distracting at times.

Pros

There really isn't any. It used to be a flexible schedule, but because they are so understaffed it is impossible to get coverage if you need a day off for being sick or something.

Cons

Management is horrible. They NEVER have a solution for anything. I honestly do not know how most of them even become managers. All they do is pretend to Bartend. Most of the time they are chatting up front with the bartenders not even paying attention, so when I need something no one is around to ask for water or a hot tool. Clients even notice this and its embarrassing when the client mentions it to me. It then becomes funny when I get these clients as repeat and they see the same things going on. The products smell bad, and cause such bad irritation. The commission structure,to which we all received an email saying how wonderful it was going to be with the new change from the owner, is completely the opposite. I now lose over 200.00 a month easy with this change, but noooo it's so fantastic apparently and we are all too stupid to actually realize this. I get emails weekly along with all the other stylists saying we need to improve on our timing. Sadly people are getting injured as a result of this. The master stylist working my shop even told one new girl that the company can't afford her because she is too slow. She didn't even work 2 weeks and had just finished beauty school. I'm sorry but $.8.50 for being licensed???? I think not. Half the time clients tip anywhere from 5-8 dollars and after taxes we barely make 10.00 I made more money working other dead end jobs that didn't require a license. Stylists now tell their clients how little they get paid that some have stopped going to DryBar because of it.

Pros

Lively, energetic, cutting edge. Drybar has become a "love brand" in a short period of time and the team feels a sense of responsibility to preserve and uphold the magic.

Cons

Not a good fit for someone who requires rigid structure.
