Pros

great staff to work with and nice employee discount. good place to work for sales associates but not if you want to be a part of management.

Cons

was assistant manager and wound up running the store when the store manager left during the busiest time of the year. my team made their plan for 3 months straight for the first time ever and made the bonus plan for the entire year. i did not get any form of appreciation for all my hard work or a raise for doing things beyond my job description for 6 months. they would also give an extra employee increntive when the company wasn't doing well to make their employees spend more of their own money.

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
