Pros

You'll meet some great people that you really connect with because of how miserable the work environment and culture is. That will be your saving grace here. Other than that, there isn't a single positive thing about working for this company.

Cons

I could go on for days. I am not one to write reviews but my experience here was so disgusting, that I had to do whatever I could to save people from making the same mistake. I wish I would have listened to everyone who told me to NOT work for this company but instead I wanted to make my own experience. If you love drama, horrible culture, minimum/unlivable wage, insane hours that change every 3 months, no growth potential, no holiday time off, no commission, then this place is for you. You will be worked like a dog here and won't see a penny for it. Instead, you'll see a 50 cent bagel once a month. This company expects you to sell in one month what they won't pay you in 5 years!!!!! I do not know one person who isn't looking for a new job there - all people talk about is getting out as soon as they can. It's without a doubt the most toxic work place that I've ever witnessed and experienced and I'm confident that 99.9% of stylist would agree.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
