Pros

Benefits are pretty good. But time off is seldom...I didn't get a vacation the first two years. I had vacation time, but couldn't get any time away to use it.

Cons

Long work days, extensive travel between stores, which is not counted as work time. Upper Management gives positive feedback, then when VP comes gives no support and lays everything on DM's and SM's. Very Top down communication, the usual retail complaints.

Pros

Loved working around beauty products.

Cons

Upper management and pay are horrible. Liked most co workers but some extremely lazy. Hair color training is lacking and the only thing they care about is sales, not a care if you mess someone’s hair up.
