Pros

Coworkers were very kind and helpful. Made some great bonds there and learned a lot about color theory.

Cons

Refuses to let you post your cosmetology license in public view (illegal). They struggled to even locate mine when I quit. Middle and upper management was awful. Reported someone to hr and was told to “try and see it from their perspective”. Had time off approved one day and randomly unapproved the next. Wanted 4 weeks notice on time off but wouldn’t approve it till sometimes the day before. Not to mention an all over lack of communication. It seemed like a great place to start as a new stylist but random schedule changes inability to schedule your self any time off and just rude management will burn you out in months.

Pros

You gain corporate knowledge, and have the chance to learn new things.

Cons

They mis classify you, so your deductions are higher. They raise your monthly goals based on one good month and it’s never enough, with what you bring. Ignore rules for some, don’t share information with their regionals like asked. Yet, you get treated like garbage if you speak to anyone outside your DM. And, acts like dm is in your corner yet failed to handle a problem employee for a very long time. With plenty of evidence. It affects their bonus!! They don’t care as long as they are producing.
