      Be ready to be harassed and bullied by DM

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      30% discount and some of the customers

      Cons

      Constant texting and messaging from DM. Like others have mentioned. You gotta be on call 24/7. They barely train you hands on. You better know everything within two weeks of watching videos and reading some articles. You're basically training yourself. Long excruciating meetings and humiliating rituals by the DM. Be ready to be verbally and psychologically abused. Gaslighted and laughed at.

      Not Terrible, Not Amazing

      Beauty advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Worked for the same store location since 2016 and we became a little family, which is something hard to come by (though, I know this will be different depending on your manager and team), very thoughtful and caring manager, flexible with scheduling. We have had two DMs (district managers) during my time employed, both have fought for the stores/employees in our district. Sally's is very inclusive and actively strives to make the work environment accommodating and comfortable for everybody.

      Cons

      Very little store hours: only managers (and ASMs, if you're even able to have one at your location) get 40+ hours a week. Over my tenure of working for the company, I've seen corporate do some questionable things / make questionable decisions that affect us at the store-level. By this, I mean KPIs/weekly goals/monthly goals have changed often, and those who changed it often have never worked in a store environment, making us little-guys have to be like "hey, this isn't working and you're trying to punish us for it..." To elaborate, a lot of the time, it seems the company ONLY cares about numbers. Benefits are not the best, for full or part time, and hourly pay isn't great, but it is better than some other places.

      low pay, unreasonable demands, and lack of work life balance

      Assistant manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      • 30% employee discount • paid vacation and sick time

      Cons

      • the business requires you to be on call 24/7 • the pay for an assistant manager, no matter your experience, is extremely low (only $1 above minimum wage) • ever growing workload and demand • encouraged to never call out/use sick time • no work life balance • extreme micromanaging from higher ups
