Pros

Pay is decent but rigged with doubled goals once bonus eligible making it conveniently inachievable once they have to pay. Good CEO but has no real idea what’s happening in color bars or with upper leaders.

Cons

Great clips of color. Crazy turnover, leaders expected to work 24/7, always on call, even on vacation. Sick pay can’t ever be used because its not provided until the end of the year when there is blackout periods. Upper leadership at field VP level is control freak dictatorship. Everyone is terrified and they are really running the business not the nice CEO who is the face of values and culture that don’t exist. Corporate makes everything work for them and hard for salons. All leaders are old Ulta employees who were fired. They complain about how awful Ulta was and only looked at numbers number numbers not people but then that is exactly same culture they brought here. Just hit number and work constantly. Double booked over booked told not eat lunch or just shove a bite in between guests booked very 30 minutes on the dot. Just work till you drop. Expected to report money made every hour while taking guests and managing. And have to add up all sales with calculator by hand. They can’t hire people because the reputation is already bad for working here.

-FT medical and dental benefits -employee gratis -new and chic aesthetic -gentler ingredients

Cons

-very overworked, business model wasn't adjusted for today's COVID world (booked every 30 minutes, but also company policy to take a client up to 10 minutes late) -30 minute time slots make it impossible to connect with clients, making them feel like it's a production line -no consistency between what is being told to client over the phone via at-home workers and what is actually happening in the color bars -quality of permanent color, not consistent and doesn't work well on coarse hair (no grey coverage) -ammonia free=lack of lifting capability -commission rate not competitive in CA -will never get to actually use your accrued PTO -under valued/appreciated by superiors
