Pros

great, colorful people, fun environment in the office, lots of access to merchandise

Cons

HR team does not promote internally or facilitate any moves lateral or promotional. long, long hours expected. Managers are hit or miss as anywhere. My first one had serious favorites and ignored everyone else. Second one was a bit all over the place. Never had any goals set or reviews from either.

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
