Pros

discounted services but you're expected to tip so much it almost negates the discount

Cons

This company is cheap, unprofessional, and unfair. For a company that makes an estimated 33 million dollars annually, they pay you so little that you quite literally cannot afford rent. Then when you're homeless and unable to wash your hair for work, they make fun of you. Management at Polaris is manipulative, rude, and unprofessional. They will offer you extra time off and then later hold it against you when they write you up for attendance. They expect you to bend over backwards for the salon and work at locations 6x the distance from the salon you were hired at with little to no notice, then they don't pay you for mileage. Have a family emergency? Management will write you up for trying to call off, even if you make it to the shift after they were petty and make you come in 15 minutes before your scheduled shift. The higher ups at the company want to pocket as much money as possible at the expense of their employees and clients. They do not hire adequate staff and expect employees to work OT to make up for it. They do not pay livable wages. If you want to be homeless and on food stamps, this is the employer for you.

Pros

The environment is great and upbeat, there's not too many days where you dreaded going to work. There's little to no drama in the salons which is very surprising. The discounts and exceptional pay for the position are great, as well. Great benefits.

Cons

Corporate office is very disconnected from the bottom employees (receptionists) and the managers aren't trained very well, doesn't take long for them to promote inexperienced people to the position. They are very stubborn if you are a college student and make it impossible to move up in the company unless you're "on call at all times."

Pros

Lots of great people work here which is the #1 reason you enjoy coming to work every day, it's a fun and friendly work environment, some flexibility with your schedule, awesome discounts for services and products for employees.

Cons

Decent pay but raises are few and far between, little to no opportunity for career growth so expect to be in the same position indefinitely, can be very "clique-ish" (it is a hair salon), management can be hit or miss depending on the person above you.
