Excellent Pay and Benefits

Pros

Benefits and pay are excellent, paid vacation, personal days, and holidays. 401K, dental, vision, medical and gap insurance. Excellent base wage plus guaranteed commission on products and services.

Cons

Working with Walmart, we rent from them, but they seem to care very little for us and what we do at Smartstyle. I have noticed that this depends on the location, some Walmart Managers and team are great, others not as much. I just do my best to keep the moral and spirits high.

Company takes advantage of you

Hairstylist

Pros

Access to SOME education but not much due to the fact that they made us watch videos instead of paying an educator to come to the salon.

Cons

Overall, most of my time at Smart Style wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great due to the fact that the company makes so much profit off of stylists while paying them very little. There were times where I worked with some cool people but other times where I worked with unfair management like the district leaders or their higher ups who only expected more from you no matter how much you were doing.
