Pros

Forging relationships with the artists

Cons

You won't be paid more than 40-45k, regardless of experience; employees are basically hired based on who will accept the lowest salary. You'll likely be insulted by any offer extended (example: salaries basically determined by how little a company in California can legally get away with paying its employees without breaking labor laws). Management is a nightmare. Employees are very undervalued. Everyone is expected to work 60-80 hour weeks, with absolutely no remote work allowed, and they even give various punishments for work-week tardiness. There is no CTO, nor is there a single technology person in-house. To make matters worse, the company execs do not have experience working in (let alone running) a company in the technology space at all, so being at beGlammed feels comparable to being in the backseat of a car going 100mph, with a blind and deaf driver at its wheel; the Founder is a MUA who doesn't hold any kind of 4-year acclaimed university degree, the CEO is an attorney with even less relevant experience, & the CSO, prior to beglammed, was a health counselor. They are in desperate, desperate need of someone with an MBA to come in and overhaul the entire operation. To their credit, the structure is a disorganized mess, so my experience being there is nothing more than a reflection of the disarray with which it operates. The lack of professionalism is also quite shocking.

Pros

Great place to work. You learn a lot and it’s fast-paced. Everyone is hard-working, always smiling, and willing to help. Nice environment.

Cons

Can’t think of anything that sticks out to me as an outright bad experience.

Pros

You book on a first come first serve basis; first to respond books it. There's is no set schedule. You book to your liking based on what is given to you. You are not required to book anything. If you only do hair you will book for hair only If you only do makeup you will be booked for makeup only. If you do both than you can do both. Work with high end paying customers; customers who appreciate your worth verses customers who feel they need a discount for everything Don't know how to blow dry? Perfect for you to get your practice in and foot in the door and on your way to building clientele Great Opportunities to work television, Fashion Shows, Models, Celebrities You can post your work to social media Clients information is protected and isn't shared with the stylist

Cons

Clients information is not shared with the stylist; clients belong to Beglammed You pay your own gas - no compensation Parking is only reimbursed over $5.00 Compensation is 75% Beglammed 25% plus $2.00 booking fee for the week You get paid every two weeks Some of the Staff members are very rude. Almost in a hurry to get you off the phone and on to the next
