Fekkai Reviews

Fekkai has to be the most horrible company one can work for in all honestly. - Management is HORRIBLE! They'll smile in your face and talk crap behind your back. FAKE FAKE EVERYWHERE - Want a day off? Sorry, Fekkai doesn't know what personal/sick days are. Literally, your life would be all about Fekkai. (They don't pay OT either, so if you're scheduled to leave at 5PM .. LEAVE AT 5PM) - In a room filled with mold in the carpets, breathing in dust and lord knows what for 8hours. (Oh, but make sure you won't get sick! Fekkai doesn't know what being sick is) - Depending on how much money you're bringing into the company is how much they'll like and respect you. - Coming in 1min late? Nope, you're getting written up (Seriously, being 1min late is the same as being 1hour late) But ... if you're bringing lots of money to the company, 1hour late and you have 5 incoming clients? SURE. NO PROBLEM, come in at anytime! We'll just have to call all 5 incoming clients and tell em you obviously don't care and will be late :) My pleasure.

Ha where do I start. When you start off as a receptionist you're put in this hotline looking office with no windows or circulation at that. They expect you to just sit there and stare at a screen the majority of your day. Can't read a book, can't read a magazine, can't eat a mint, can't even breathe. They make all these rules as they go by the way. Then these people really are extremely discriminating for starters, it's amazing how much they will pick out all your flaws. Yet half of management looks pitiful. I have naturally curly hair, so one day they made a stylist flat iron my hair during my shift because apparently it didn't look appropriate for Fekkai. Then when I asked the manager if it looked better she said "Much better". The second time I had my hair in a curly ponytail the salon manager said my hair looked horrible and tried to make me get my hair blown out. I refused and she said I wasn't able to cross the salon floor to use the restroom. She said if I wanted to use the restroom I had to go downstairs to the break room so no clients can see me. This place will nitpick every little thing you do wrong and they do not take the appropriate time to actually train employees who have never worked for a salon before! Yet they love playing the blame game when a mistake happens. And say things like they're cleaning up after our mess. Their weekly reviews are BS ... There is always something new that makes absolutely no sense. Hey you cannot say "sure, okay, not a problem" these terms are too casual. So prepare to change your entire vocabulary that you've learned your whole life for them. And if you don't get their lingo in two weeks get ready for the threats to be fired. It's almost as if you are an inconvenience to them. Like did you not hire because you needed receptionists? This place lets their clients and stylists run the show and it's incredible how unorganized they are. I would never ever recommend this job to anyone. Management sucks and the people here suck. You will only find a handful of gems but the rest of the people are just so miserable. For the amount you get paid... It isn't worth your sanity. Don't let these people bully you and use your own job against you. The name is just that, a name.
