Pros

Visuals are gorgeous, product is great

Cons

Where to begin. If you love being stressed out & constantly on edge, this company is for you. While goals are supposed to be challenging, they should also be realistic. Scare tactics are often used to try to & get stores to make these goals. Management at district level & above micro manage to insane degree, leaving little to no room for each individual store to manage their specific business. Store management are often scheduled 6+ days in a row, leading to lots of burn out. Not surprising that there is such a high level of turn over, more than any other retailer I’ve ever worked for.

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

Really fun products, customers are friendly.

Cons

Discount is similar to customer price. They keep everyone part time to avoid paying benefits. Required to harass every customer. Lack of management or support. No employee handbook.
