Pros

Coworkers are fairly easy to get along with. Work is straightforward. Compensation is pretty good. Discount is good at 50%.

Cons

High level management is completely distant. Expectations are often too high, and failure is sternly reprimanded. This wouldn't be such a glaring hypocrisy if managers worked nearly as hard as associates, gave credit when credit was due, and trained employees properly Human resources is useless, and don't take complaints as seriously as they should. If you're a dark skinned girl who happens to work here, beware, there probably won't be much room for improvement.

Pros

I love that company offers wellness days and other benefits to focus on your mental health. I also like how there’s more training outlets for leadership and stylist.

Cons

The only con I would say is having an extra layer up for mental health insurance for stylist

Pros

Majority of cross-functional team members are great to work with, toxic behavior is rarely tolerated.

Cons

Back to back deadlines No time for vacations (deadlines also consistently shift, making it difficult to pre-plan vacations that aren't a 3 day weekend) No growth/promotions (even when you've been handling tasks that were your boss's job for 4 years) Underpaid and overworked
