Pros

- Learning about new beauty products before they come out. - 50% off on salon services, and 25% off on merchandise. - Negotiable salary/hourly pay. - Chances to move up, or to work in different positions you may be interested in.

Cons

- Lack of direction when being trained. - Most coworkers I came across seemed unfriendly, and barely smiled even when around customers. - No benefits offered for part time employees. - You have to bring clear bags to keep your stuff in, get green dots on the bottoms of things you bring in from home, and a manager has to inspect your beg before you can leave work to make sure you didn't steal anything. Not only is it a hassle to have to wait around for an available manager, but it also makes you feel like a criminal. - Lack of hours, unless willing to work positions other than what you're hired for. - There are no employee discount cards. You have to use your paycheck stub to get a discount. Management also has to do the discount, which means you have to wait for them to come over to do it making people behind you wait longer in line.

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
