Horrible employers - Stylist Drybar Employee Review

I worked for Drybar for a month short of a year full-time (in the begining) and part-time (towards the end) and I have to say that all the issues in the former review are the same ones I faced. They work you to the bone with no breaks for basically minimum wage (8 hourlys). I used to work 11 hour days without a single break (Im being completely honest). You dont ever feel like they are looking out for you and everyone you work with is disgruntled about it. The only people happy to be there are the ones who are "in the inner circle of management" because their egos get stroked by the higher ups and they are making a higher salary. The managers are hired based on their friendships with other management and they are in no way hired based on their skill as salon managers. Infact most dont even have a stylist background. They talk down to you and expect you to work hours without a break while they hang out in the back and socialize. The reception staff is hired solely on looks so if youre not cute dont bother applying. On top of the that the receptionists are incompetent with no experience and will mess up the books and undermine you in front of your clients. They lure you in with the promise of growth and financial security but none of that ever happens. Because of the high turnover rate they are now offering a $100 bonus to stylists who bring in their friends to work at Drybar. If the friend stays for a month then youre supposed to get the money but they never ever give you anything. The company goes through staff like toilet paper. Out of the 35 stylists they hired to open our location, only 5 or 6 were still there a year later (and those people have cut their own hours because they are so sick of the place). There is no room for growth as a stylist since they dont offer raises unless you become a manager. As I stated earlier you have to be friends with someone to even get promoted.The shop can be very "clicky" and it causes drama. Drybar management is inconsistant. They are lenient towards their friends. Ive seen stylists (who are buddies with the mangaer) come in 1 hour late (on multiple occasions) for their shift on and get no repercussion while another will be 5 mins late (once) and get written up. The company claims they want you to be skilled and learn the "drybar way" of blowdrying hair, but they are inconsistant about training so newer stylists have no idea what they are doing and other more experienced people have to jump in a correct it. More than half the staff is unlicensed. I stayed there for a year because I liked my cooworkers (the stylists) and because I could meet new clients to take to my full-service salon. I would advise anyone who applys here to steer clear. If you do work at Drybar only do so to build your business at your full service salon, as you will not get the opportunity to grow as a stylist otherwise. This company honestly disgusts me with their treatment of the stylists. What upsets me is how they say they are a great company and they are such a great place to work at and ,most irritating of all, how they claim they CARE about you. ITS ALL LIES!!! I wouldnt be so upset if they would just be frank about how crappy the job is.
