Pros

Discount in store and in salon. Selling great products. Interations with customers, helping people on a daily basis. Gratis is given to management.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations for all duties. Managers ring up guests at least 25 hours a week due to lack of hours for cashiers. You're expected to hire a large staff and give employees less than 10 hours a week. Ridiculous punch policy. I've seen managers and staff that have worked hard for this company only to get fired because of the punch policy. You are given minimal hours and endless tasks.

Pros

Gratis There are good hard working people that want to do well. I am still there (barely) because I haven’t completely given up that things will be handled/addressed correctly for those not aligned with company vision and expectations. However after 5 years of inaction it’s hard to believe that positive change will actually and maybe just maybe Myself and others that are dedicatedI will be recognized vs taken for granted.

Cons

No furthering development Keep toxic (leaders especially) allowing unacceptable behavior conduct and violation of company code Communication is very poor…it’s inconsistent,For example managers are not provided with direct email accounts so it’s a community email box. This causes a large amount of information to be read by the wrong audience and is not communicated if read by the wrong leader
