Pros
Since the company is growing, they make it seem like your opinion does matter. The spend a lot of money on employee appreciation. Fast pace and you can make money quick. Strong CEO!
Cons
NO work life balance whatsoever. This would be a job for someone who is single or strictly dedicated to their job no family or children. You will work 24/7 if you are on salary. As the GM the expected a work week is a minimum of 45+ hours. You are on call 24/7. There is no verbal communication it is 90% email, slack, or text. You are expected to answer immediately and deal with all situations. If not, you would be reprimanded. The clientele is huge! Not a bad thing, however there is not enough or payroll to accommodate for the guest. So, you are taking over 20+ clients a day and expected to manage the salon and perform everything else. Leading you to easily work a 55+ hour week which is "normal" I worked over 10 hours an any given day worked over my breaks and lunches. I work when I get home from work, when I wake up each morning I start working from home all on top of being at the color bar for 10+ hours. Mandated conference calls on your days off or any calls. Upper management is nothing but micro mangers. They say there is room for growth but its strictly politics. They talk about culture there is none. They hold feelings which prevents you from every having things confidential. I have been in the industry for over 12+ years and have had large work loads and I understand what it takes to do they back end work. However we are not a robot and are still human. This is job for someone who is newer to management and wants to grow. This is for someone who doesn't have a life outside of work. Maybe good for someone relocating to the area looking for a job? Best of luck to the company and the workers.
