Pros

Could switch shifts if needed.

Cons

Was promised a part-time position at interview ended up with about eight hours a week. Not a good place to work if you have a mind of your own. Management would not listen to suggestions and when given suggestions you may get a "talking to" about not being passionate about your job. Flip and turn clients or customers, really bad business practices. Very pushy sales position, and if you don't push customers the way they want you to they get upset. Recorded phone calls without my knowledge to "train" All together not the best experience. They have a ton of employee turnover...for a reason.

Pros

Great coworkers, supportive team environment, loyal clients, and valuable opportunities to develop professional skills.

Cons

I’d like to raise some concerns about communication and fairness. We are asked to communicate everything, yet often our messages go unanswered or are met with a negative attitude. There is also a sense of favoritism in time-off approvals. Last-minute scheduling changes have disrupted my plans due to lack of notice. I’ve been incorrectly scheduled due to miscommunication, and I’ve had intense shifts without reasonable breaks. Additionally, our manager consistently arrives later than anyone, often when clients are waiting to pay, yet she gives attitude to others for minor delays. On top of that, product management is often last-minute. We run out of supplies like products, creams, or paper, and it only gets addressed when urgent, forcing us to scramble between rooms. I’m bringing these concerns forward because I hope for a more consistent, supportive, and equitable work environment for all of us.
