Pros

decent pay and great clients

Cons

little to no work-life balance, transparency, communication, or leadership. no idea what’s going on half the time or who to go to about what (often times immediate management don’t even know what’s going on or what to do). lack of care for employees to reach out for help and training. can be very cliquey. will look for a problem no matter how well you do.

Pros

As a piercer, I was given flexibility and ownership of my role. I got along well with my coworkers, and my input was taken into consideration.

Cons

No cons. It was a supportive and collaborative work environment with plenty of room to grow.

Pros

The company is definitely moving to be more communicative and flexible when it comes to feedback and listening to it's employees when it hasn't always been that way in the past. Staffing is now based more on merit than favoritism which led to last minute staffing changes in the past. HR is more present and being utilized correctly.

Cons

Communication can still be improved between the studios and our HQ team. Things will not be communicated or given very last minute which leads to unneeded stress on the studio teams. Benefits have been removed as company grows, which is frustrating. No 401K matching. Reimbursement program was revoked. High turnover rate fleet wide.
