Pros

- great, quality products sold and used in services - opportunity for growth in the company

Cons

- sometimes you get no lunch break and you have to plan out a bathroom break and end up missing phone calls or making clients wait to check in/out. not legal in my state at all, but we're just encouraged to snack. - managers often work from home which leaves desk staff in charge of the salon, often times alone for 6-8 hours. you'll often spend the day being pulled in several directions by clients, techs and telephones due to understaffing. managers not being staffed on the desk often means fewer opportunity for training and coaching, which leads to inconsistencies in business. - Clients are allowed to verbally abuse/harass staff, thus robbing them of dignity and time (and time is money) . No real HR representation or policy on how to handle disruptive/abusive clients. - poor communication throughout company which leads to inconsistencies in services - you could often be asked to work on days off, particularly days requested off far in advance which is not fair - I applied for/ was granted full time employment which is legally 35 hours a week but i often only work just below 30 hours - gossipy environment, favoritism in the workplace

Pros

I love the girls! I worked with them for years and the team really makes the environment special. Clients are particular but it is expected in this industry and I have also met great people along the way over the years!

Cons

HQ is all over the place and out of touch. District leader is not sensible to the team and cares for numbers only. I've been pushed to days I just break down from pressure working alone in the front on busy peak days and still being micromanaged. Upon expressing concerns, the attitude was that of "I get not everyone is like me who can handle it." Corporate supports that too and it shows by their disregard to not address this. The company is not as they portray. It is not women led and unfortunately, it has become hostile.
