Pros

Incredible growth potential, ability to help build and develop a company, opportunity for professional and personal growth at every stage of your career, culture and colleagues second to none, a true meritocracy that rewards strong performance and passion. Work hard, ask for help when you need it, continue to improve and the sky is the limit.

Cons

Sales is not for everyone, expectations are high and the job is hard. The stylist role is not a typical hourly retail position. You will be asked to build a book of business, foster relationships with your clients and continuously grow. Traditional work-life balance (on from 9-5, off from 5-9) is not realistic, but effectively integrating the job into your daily life is.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
