Pros

I worked in the salon as a stylist and the extensive team training they give you is amazing. It's positive and motivating and inspiring.

Cons

Unfortunately, the motivation they give you serves them more than it serves you. Essentially it makes you feel guilty for complaining that their pay scale is awful and their goals are almost unachievable.

Pros

Gratis There are good hard working people that want to do well. I am still there (barely) because I haven’t completely given up that things will be handled/addressed correctly for those not aligned with company vision and expectations. However after 5 years of inaction it’s hard to believe that positive change will actually and maybe just maybe Myself and others that are dedicatedI will be recognized vs taken for granted.

Cons

No furthering development Keep toxic (leaders especially) allowing unacceptable behavior conduct and violation of company code Communication is very poor…it’s inconsistent,For example managers are not provided with direct email accounts so it’s a community email box. This causes a large amount of information to be read by the wrong audience and is not communicated if read by the wrong leader
