Pros

The people I worked with at store level

Cons

Bay Area DM is a nightmare of a leader with avoidance and condescending elevated jargon as leadership tools that are both ineffective and demotivating. Senior Management runs the company like an episode of Mean Girls.Corporate level is clueless and disconnected.

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
