Pros

Madison Reed has a leader, Amy Errett, who is driven to tackle all the challenges in life. The company's mission is to disrupt the hair color industry and they've been successful at that. By supporting only their own product line in their Hair Color Bars they have an edge to deliver the best in customer service, which is what the company strives to excel at no matter the cost. Transparency is evident, with the CEO talking amongst the team about tough issues in our world and how they can be addressed.

Cons

There are some rough spots with management changes and staying focused on specific strategies.
