Pros

Sally is respectful to a work-life balance. Sally has been very profitable and is always continuing to grow. Which and should mean good job security that is if you are doing your job correctly.

Cons

It seems to be very difficult to move lateral among various departments within the organization. There is also no mentoring program to help individuals increase their skill set.

Pros

Free items monthy... but must upsell to costumers.

Cons

Working at sallys you are not allowed to be sick or have your children sick. Not allowed to have a life. SALLYS will have to be your life! Broken promises of advancement... LACK of acknowledging hard work... most times even harder than your own managers. DM's favortism and pushing co workers to quit. If you have a problem you can't even confide to your manager or DM you have to go over them to be heard. I wish I had someone to warn me of the unfairness that goes on in at sallys companies... gossiping crybabies of who has it better than others. If you work hard you should be given a pat on the back! Not be ignored and pushed aside. Especially when DM has promised you asst management position after being an employee for 1 yr.. then a newbie of a month comes in and is given the position you were promised. Sallys was a wasted of my time!
