Pros

Learned a lot about the industry and the way it works.

Cons

Racist company. If you are a woman (or man) of color then don't even waste your time. You won't get very far. No diversity in the corporate office at all, it's just sad. Also, totally clueless HR and managers. This company is too all over the place and too concerned about the way you look and dress, not your brain and intelligence. What an uncomfortable place to work.

Pros

I love that company offers wellness days and other benefits to focus on your mental health. I also like how there’s more training outlets for leadership and stylist.

Cons

The only con I would say is having an extra layer up for mental health insurance for stylist

Pros

Really liked my fellow coworkers

Cons

I was not paid enough for the amount of work and effort I have to do. There’s new training everyday. All I ever heard was how badly the company is doing and they made it seem like I was the one to save it. There’s so much pressure to do well and then no reward. A simple good job is just not enough. They talk about mental health being important but there is barely any support. The whole store is stressed but has no one to talk to about because the store manager is never around.
