Pros

ahhhh yep I got nothin' in this category....I never got gratis, didn't want the rookie hairstylist working on my hair (high turnover) and no respect for my licensure

Cons

I lasted two weeks after the initial Dermalogica manadatory training and on boarding (omg mindwashing drivel) theives stealing from the salon register so services from the estheticians were paid at the front register and NO TIPS were given....I was also forcused to contact the HR department at the Headquarters because they refuse to give me a paycheck when I went to pick it up...............STAY AWAY unless you like to do retail. Not for estheticians with any experience, LOAD music and tiny pods for esthetics services, 5 years experience and I was paid $9 an hour really ;-0

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.
