Pros

The employee discount on Bumble products

Cons

-Frequent payroll mistakes -Terrible management -Corporate does not value employees -Hourly pay is low, commission is almost nonexistent -Little opportunity for advancement. -"Management training program" is a joke, there is no actual training- you just do the job of a manager for the pay of a receptionist. -Odd and restrictive dress code (ex: "skirts cannot be shorter than knee length" "no maxi skirts or dresses" "tattoos must be covered with clothing, not accessories or bandages") -Sexist hiring practices (will not hire male cosmetologists. Looks, age and gender are all bigger factors than actual skill level) -Lewd behavior rampant among management -The little on the job training available is very poor quality -Low quality supplies sourced mostly from Sally's Beauty -Individuality is very much discouraged -Employees are pressured to fill out reviews on sites like this and in local "best of" competitions to bolster bad ratings. After years of working in food service, retail, and telemarketing...this was by far the unhappiest I've ever been with a job. Our clientele was great and my coworkers were nice, but management has some serious ethical problems from the very core. If I could give negative stars, I would.

Pros

I have enjoyed my time at Boardroom. It is a positive work environment with very supportive management and coworkers. The manager provides a flexible schedule and plenty of responsibilities and opportunities to grow professionally. I have had a great experience with both clients and coworkers!

Cons

Boardroom is great for people that like to stay busy. Since it is a service based business, there will be occasional last minute changes, which can be challenging. Need to be detail oriented, stay calm under pressure, and able to multitask!

Pros

The clients were great for the most part and the tips were good.

Cons

The management is terrible! The manager, causes more drama than anyone else’s. She’s doesn’t keep your info private and confidential. She displays favoritism and lacks professionalism when it comes to her political and religious beliefs. Corp. under pays the stylist and over charges clients. They hire in newer stylists with less experience more then the senior stylists with the clientele. Corp. changes rules and policies so often it becomes difficult to know how to preform at the job. There is little to no perks and the day to day is repetitive. No opportunities for growth or to move up in the company. With the mischievous manager and corp. with frequent change and turn over, this is an unnecessary high stress job. The yearly “raise” is laughable. $1 increase per year as long as you cross off all the criteria’s they push onto you. Don’t waste your time and talent.
