Not worth the $

Shift lead

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This company while lucrative is not worth the headache of corporate constantly holding unrealistic expectations for both service timing and service results.

Cons

You are given very little time to do your services 45 minutes for a blow dry regardless of her length or texture or desired look. Also their policy of reporting any issues internally by sending emails to your manager Foster is a toxic work environment, where you are being spoken to on a daily basis by management

Pros

Not a single one. Run!

Cons

Nothing about these people give you any insight to the industry. They have no idea what they are doing. HR lead was a former David’s bridal manager. They sourced from bottom barrel and have no idea what they are doing. Your pay is horrible. Your benefits are even worse. They just lie. Don’t waste your time.
