Pros

Pretty chill for most part but like any retail job, it's a hit or miss depending on who your team is and your managers. They can either make you love or hate the job. For a part-time job, for a bit of extra income, it's not bad.

Cons

Don't try to make this your ultimate 'career' path. It's minimum wage at best and the company no longer hires full-timers anymore. So regardless, you will need a 2nd source of income.

Pros

They give you a ton of free products and it's easy to get into management working your way up.

Cons

Horrible job/life balance. You will be a one person show responsible for all moving parts. You will always be understaffed and underpaid.

Pros

Working at Sally Beauty’s distribution operations isn’t a throwaway job if you’re honest about what it is: it’s a fast-paced warehouse environment where you’re pulling, packing, loading and moving beauty products out to thousands of Sally stores.

Cons

The company does position itself as offering competitive pay and typical benefits (health, PTO, 401(k), discounts) especially for full-time roles — that’s consistent with how many retailers structure distribution center jobs.
