Pros

Might be good for people who lack the experience or skills to get into the beauty industry.

Cons

Nearly everything else. Owners are woefully involved in every single aspect despite not having any sort of demonstrable knowledge in any area. They manage very “old school” as in they don’t trust anyone, they want to actively monitor every second of your remote workday, clear favoritism, people are expendable , etc. The brand itself is very nostalgia-based which actually works against it. No structure at all despite management attempts to implement because the owners want to fly by the seat of their pants. Suggest you look elsewhere. Also suggest you ignore the clearly fake positive reviews all posted in one month. A third-party company did that.
