Pros
Wonderful coworkers, fun clients, good money.
Cons
Management cares more about money than safety and well being of staff. Failure to follow Covid-19 safety precautions. Reprimanding staff members when they voice concerns about state mandates not being followed. Full staff meetings are deemed "unproductive" instead, they will call you personally and bully you into silence. Talk down to employees in demeaning tone trying to demand respect not earn it. Removal of breaks is frequent, no time to clean, catch up on late appointments, or to take a break. Non-ergonomic work environment, very taxing on your body as you can take anywhere from 8-15 clients a shift. Often tasked with working without proper supplies. Working in downtown with no security in place, very dangerous as we have had many men come in and make disgusting gestures to us. Told we cannot afford security but supplied with new uniforms, water bottles, uncomfortable face masks and Christmas decor. Corporate is very performative. Does not keep employees informed, avoids tough questions. Unprofessional to say the least. Nepotism runs rampant in the salon, and it is very blatant. When nepotism is brought up, it is harshly denied and swept under the rug. Very clear that employees are pawns in their money making scheme. Insane non-compete. Asked to give constructive criticism, then bullied into silence when criticism are said.
