Pros

hours and possibly type of product sold and used due to ingredients.

Cons

Hired & Debunked - first day on the job Absolute zero consideration for employment. There is a lot of time spent filing out paperwork and profile questionnaire online. First day on the job - about an hour in training I was requested my passport and cosmo license went home to retrieve docs cause I was told I couldn't start without it. In less than 15 minutes of my drive home received an email that the company is not moving forward with my hiring..... confused and in disbelief I showed up either way within the hour with docs in hand only to be received strangely by the manager. Now I am told I cannot begin till the following week - It didn't matter as they had already made up their insta-mind. This is when I realize I chose the wrong job and lost on other opportunities accepting this one. Hairstylists - Be prepared to be timed on EVERYTHING this includes hair washes. Be prepared to not build client relationships. This company is simply just about selling themselves and maintaining propriety. Extremely corporate, employees are just bees.

Poor management, one role fulfills at least 5 jobs, stressful, hard to advance, not much room for growth unless you want to be management, decent base pay but needs to improve with inflated cost of living

Pros

Coworkers were very kind and helpful. Made some great bonds there and learned a lot about color theory.

Cons

Refuses to let you post your cosmetology license in public view (illegal). They struggled to even locate mine when I quit. Middle and upper management was awful. Reported someone to hr and was told to “try and see it from their perspective”. Had time off approved one day and randomly unapproved the next. Wanted 4 weeks notice on time off but wouldn’t approve it till sometimes the day before. Not to mention an all over lack of communication. It seemed like a great place to start as a new stylist but random schedule changes inability to schedule your self any time off and just rude management will burn you out in months.
