Pros

Employee Discount Relaxed Work Environment

Cons

Upper management is not on your side unless you’re a store manager. Our district manager told our store manager that “part timers are easily replaceable so it doesn’t matter if there’s turnover”. This company does not care about sales associates and it shows. They will pay a store manager almost $20 an hour with opportunities for a bonus every quarter, but argue with a manager about giving an associate a 50 cent raise each year. District managers will gossip about other stores/managers with you openly while they’re doing their store visits. I’ve been an assistant manager, store manager, and part time sales associate. I’ve been treated differently in every position. I could go on and on about the negatives. Bottom line, you will not feel important. At least not in the Oregon district. Unless this is your only option, try to find a company that will respect you no matter your job title.

Pros

Fun job! Customers are great. Benefits are good

Cons

- they don’t pay extra for being licensed in cosmetology or esthetics etc - even at full time, I make below the poverty line - corporate expects too much for the pay - they are so cheap especially after Covid - DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE - no room for growth - only hire from outside (no promoting from within) - corporate wants this job to be your “first priority” and have no other job to worry about, even at 10 hours a week!

Pros

Access to professional products. Loved the people I worked with. Kicking out nonlicensed customers is always a joy. Enjoyed my job some days but not worth the disregard for my hard work with no reward.

Cons

Pay is terrible, especially for what they expect from employees. Higher management doesn't care who employees are. Have been told that if im not willing to work for the low wage they'll find someone who will. Even with being one of the top sellers for certain products and have a vast knowledge of hair types. Corporate also took away all full time positions in our store and only allowed 29 hrs so no benefits.
