Pros

Amazing discounts and fantastic product. Customers are very loyal and guest interaction is a very positive experience.. hourly compensation is decent and benefit package is acceptable (could be slightly better funded by company)

Cons

Work life balance is non existent, they talk about inclusion and equity constantly but don’t actually live it (lots of politics and clique behaviors) if you are different in any way you are excluded from the “group” and ostracized, lots of favoritism from corporate leaders, insufficient payroll to run the business but workload is high with an enormous amount of expectations (extremely heavy on operations which affects time with customers and with time that could be utilized interacting more with associates) Upper management has zero self awareness, which makes it impossible for them to realize that they are treating those of us in the field differently than corporate partners, it’s very disheartening.

Pros

I love that company offers wellness days and other benefits to focus on your mental health. I also like how there’s more training outlets for leadership and stylist.

Cons

The only con I would say is having an extra layer up for mental health insurance for stylist

Pros

Really fun products, customers are friendly.

Cons

Discount is similar to customer price. They keep everyone part time to avoid paying benefits. Required to harass every customer. Lack of management or support. No employee handbook.
