Madison Reed is growing so fast it can’t keep up.

Pros

Promotes diversity, decent pay, great benefits & some managers are very supportive

Cons

Constant changes all the time, company is focused way more on their technology & not the actual color line, training is mostly virtual & not hands on, the appointments are rushed making Covid regulations tricky during busy times & pressure to sell memberships even if not in client’s best interest.

Hi there Former Employee - thank you for taking time to leave us your feedback. We hear you, during times like these, this year has certainly undergone a lot of change. Throughout the changes, we have been continuing to grow as a company, which has been exciting, but also very new and unprecedented. Your employment experience is important to us, and we invite you to contact us directly at hr@madison-reed.com to better understand from you how we may want to adjust and improve. We also want to assure you that we do have a team that works together to prepare and open brand new color bars, and we have been hiring additional new team members to help support our growth and expansion. Again, we truly thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Love What I Do !!

Pros

I've been in the field for some time now. Ive worked as a booth renter, salon owner and as a manager in a cooperate salon. To me Madison Reed has restored my belief in the Cosmetology industry. They truly live by the values of Love, Joy, Courage, Trust and Responsibility. They value and invest in the well being of their employees. Most companies are worried about the bottom line (profit). Madison Reed bottom line is important too, but somehow they have embodied the idea that we can win together. They have the courage to make hair coloring more than a side job but a CAREER. Im grateful for the opportunity to be apart of something great and innovative.

Cons

To date there is nothing to say bad!!!!

Good learning opportunity, but under staffed and under resourced.

Pros

Lots to learn - great place for young professionals looking to learn about how to operate a fast growing business. There is a sincere commitment to building the company culture based on the company values (Love, Joy, Courage, Trust, and Responsibility), but the actions often fall short of the commitments. CEO genuinely cares about the business and the people in the company. It shows in almost everything she says and does. Benefits are good - full medical/dental coverage. Stock options if you're lucky. HR team is super nice and really cares about the company - but it's sad how little resources they have to do their jobs (same across all areas though)

Cons

Coaching and feedback is minimal - development sometime feels like a buzzword but not an actual focus for most senior leaders in the company. Too many VPs (there are VPs for all possible areas) and not enough functional SMEs to help in the actual day to day work. CEO is driving the culture - without her there is no culture (I find this scary). Most C-team and VP level only care about revenue and not enough about the people. Too many ideas and not enough execution - C team doesn't understand the importance of strategic planning nor do they have a way to prioritize business initiatives. For a growing start-up there's little emphasis on planning, process, and tools. People just make decisions without understanding the long term impact, leaving lower level employees to handle the execution without support. Sometime you feel like you are set up to fail. Most leaders are short term focused and not enough senior leaders with vision setting and operations experience to make the long range strategy come to life.
