Pros
Flexible schedules and the work can actually be fun
Cons
Despite the long list I’m about to write, I actually enjoy this job. Toxic positivity is rampant. I bought into it at first when they preached their core values of being bright, kind, and motivated by challenge. In reality, that translates to not allowing any negativity whatsoever. There’s no room to move up and the inventory has been awful for years. It doesn’t match what’s advertised and often times even basic items are unavailable. They say they care, but in times of 0 inventory they tell you to “be creative” and keep the same rigid expectations. We are not allowed to be honest with clients about it and instead leave them upset, as we stylists get in trouble for it. Not to mention that there’s almost no room to move up or get raises and they laid off hundreds of employees for cheaper labor. While drastically fluctuating hours are okay in my current situation, this can not be relied on as an only job. It is only workable for people who have the privilege of not knowing what your pay will be week to week. Also, hiring seems to really favor white people, although they preach diversity. It is not a reliable job for a majority of people
