Madison Reed reviews about "management"

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.

In store Management not the least decent. Will turn employees against one another.

Minimal training and disconnected management

None that I know of at the moment.

No complaints other than difficult clients sometimes

The company is very unorganized Constant system errors No partnership with Hr Managers are not respected but used to keep employees if the employee is unstable No connection within the company, values are a joke used against Managers Culture is very quid pro quo inside Severely Low pay for what is expected from Management no work/life Balance AT ALL

Not a lot of work/life balance. my manager would contact me at all hours of the day and night, weekends. They are a company that talks a lot about employees first, which was not my experience. Lots of gossip. I'd hear management share things about other employees personal lives that were completely inappropriate. Lack of respect for people's boundaries, like I had never seen before at a company. I was denied PTO several times and if I was able to take a day off since I was so burnt out, I got a guilt trip about it when I came back. I spoke to HR about it all of this and they just shrugged their shoulders and said "yeah, that's just how it is". Really disorganized management. Awful at communication. I'd be heads down on a project and when I'd present it to my manager, they'd talk to me like I was an idiot cause the project changed and didn't bother to tell me. most toxic work environment I have ever experienced.
