Pros

the discount is the only thing good about this job.

Cons

don't bother with looking forward to having a day off.. you won't get one. pay is incredibly insulting, training is a joke, DM's have unethical practices and will ask you to lie for them and then deny later "ever having knowledge" of this, you get worked to death, not enough employees/hours per store, the anonymous hotline is anything but anonymous when the report goes to the person you are complaining about, DM's have their favorite managers so all unethical behavior is ignored. DMs gossip about ALL the other employees to the employees. Too much drama for one place.

Pros

You can work with great people, and most of the customers are lovely, it's not a fast paced job at all and the pay is okay and you get 20% discount

Cons

Lazy management, staff get treated so badly, you have no voice what so ever, I could go on! If I knew what I was getting myself into I would never of applied, because of this job I now suffer with anxiety as do my other colleges, but this is my store! Other stores may be totally fine

Pros

At first I was excited to work for Sally believing that there is career advancement in the future.

Cons

I have been a life long buyer and user of the product line Sally offers. Recently I was honored and excited to be selected to join the Sally sale team at a local retail location. On my 3rd day of employment I was devastated and deeply hurt when my manager confronted me after working my schedule hours in front of sally beauty store. The manager approached me in front of the Sally business store as I left the store outside where my son was waiting to drive me home. She asked to search my purse with absolutely no reason to do so. I felt violated and humiliated to be treated as a common thief. My question is: does Sally do this as a normal business practice to their employees? This lack of trust and respect has caused me to seriously consider if I desire to work and purchase the products Sally has to offer. I am a mature adult, a customer and recent employee of this company. All I ask, is to be treated with the respect and trust I deserve. Question is will I ever feel the same; honored and excited being part of Sally team? In my opinion, this was not a professional approach checking the employee bag in front of the business in front of other staring customers and other business after the employee shift ended.
