Pros

-coworkers/friends -fun and friendly environment -food incentives -great training prior to starting job and during job on product knowledge

Cons

-rude and dismissive to employees that have concerns/suggestions **especially those that need special accommodations** -don’t always promote from within when there’s lot of overworked, underpaid, talented employees -unreasonably high monthly quotas -try to encourage employees not meeting quotas to leave company with cruel tactics -management favoritism for certain stylists is very apparent -little opportunity for re-evaluation for raise/bonus -management can be catty -HR is makes themself very unreachable -bad and constantly changing work hours -poor work/life balance because overtime is often expected on days off

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
