CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay with commission and tips since they want to pay minimum wage Good insurance coverage if you can get it

Cons

Long hours work you hard in a very fast pace, Hair Color Bar barely gets breaks. Super clicky mgmt full of nepotism and who knows who. Have to be in the IN to advance in the company. Drink the kool-aid till you drown OR ELSE...

Pros

Work from home. Good incentives. Full time benefits and part time benefits. CEO seems to really care about employees. Culture is very inclusive. My direct manager was super.

Cons

I didn’t experience any cons with my Video role. Only experienced a con when I tried a different role so I left the organization.
