Pros
The pros of working for this company is that they encourage the salon professional to build a clientele. They offer free education that is basic. I believe that there should be a way to create advance training after you have attended the classes. I know it is hard with 10000 employees but we need to see the trends faster. Another pro is that they offer basic health insurance, dental, vision and 401k. They are basic. It was nice when it was free but I understand the need to put a cost with the plan. I feel like another pro is that the company is not afraid of evolving. It maybe behind in its time but it is getting there. The salon touch system has been implemented in salons for so long an it took forever to receive. We have been promised an appointment book online and that will be amazing when we actually get it.
Cons
As a con I believe that some of the companies values have been compromised in this ever evolving industry. I understand the need for evolving and change and I am more than ok with all of that, but when our expectations as a leadership team are not lived up to by corporate it is very hard to get behind (example' the lack of notice for holiday hours) I believe that in the last year I have never seen so many retractions or corrections via email. A lot of the decisions or emails that have some thru feel rushed. Almost like someone is not reading or having someone double check them.
