Pros

Benefits, Education, Support, product knowledge, sense of team within the salon, easy to build clientele having access to customers on the retail floor.

Cons

They really didn't encourage balance between family and work. Difficult to maintain a set schedule. Not a lot of encouragement when goals were exceeded. It was by far the most stressful Salon Management job I have ever had.

Pros

Great discount Gratis is good but having worked for Sephora as well, theirs is way better. Fun customers most of the time

Cons

Glorified babysitter when your team is incompetent Store can quickly become a wreck when one manager isn’t pulling their weight Too many hats in this role and way too overbearing. I thought I’d need to see a neurologist for migraines but it turns out I was just way too stressed in my role. ai. And a big push for more and more ai in the future.
