      Pros

      There is a Starbucks on site, and a great cafeteria. Otherwise nothing good about this company.

      Cons

      Terrible scheduling, micro managed, not family oriented, zero work life balance, too focused on making their customers happy they treat employees like a sweat shop. Monitor bathroom breaks.....what kind of company is this.

      Pros

      Rob Chesney! Cool co-workers for the most part (fellow stylists, service etc.) Open bar was always a plus. That's about it.

      Cons

      Where to begin! Horrible environment, stress and anxiety will skyrocket. Impossible sales goals. Terribly run company with unsuccessful hiring philosophy. Unstable leadership. Typical paycheck won't even begin to cover living expenses.

      Pros

      You are able to run and manage your own book of business. There's no micro-managing for the most part. The office location is great and you work in a fun, young, start-up setting. There are available opportunities to move up in the company. You receive a Nordstrom employee discount. You meet a lot of great people through lead generation. .

      Cons

      You're not fully supported by the upper management. Pressure to succeed as a company is pushed from the top, down. Office environment is extremely cliquey and can be very unprofessional. Top sales performers lie and scam the system in order to hit their sales goals. Rules are set in place but management turns an eye on some and enforces the rules on others. Management plays "favorites" and helps certain individuals hit sales goals. Very little to no work life balance. At the end of the day, you're just a number.
