Pros

Free monthly services; the tasks are overall simple.

Cons

The founder has no idea how a business works - she is someone who went to school for business and in her head has an idea of how she wants it to work, but no understanding how businesses in the real world actually function. I wish I would have read Glassdoor before accepting an offer. The founder is a narcissist, the company is entirely focused on her - not her vision, her-states that she wants feedback and when she receives it, will reject and call it criticism. There are people of different levels from associates to upper management that give feedback on how their previous companies would do things and the founder immediately rejects saying that’s not how a nail salon works (simple systems for training that most service/retail type settings use). There is this portrayal of being non-toxic and empathetic, however for a company that has been around for 7+ years, the culture is unfortunately established by the founder who is a micromanager and won’t let anyone do their jobs. The culture is extremely toxic. The founder is way too involved and if she actually wants to see her vision be successful, she needs to completely leave and trust the people she’s hired. The founder treats the front-desk team wildly different from the nail techs - she believes in giving chances for a front desk manager but will scream at and fire a nail tech when her feelings are hurt. The founder has no concept of professionalism, but will gaslight and be extremely condescending to employees blatantly in front of other employees or customers. All FT employees are expected to work 6 days. The founder will emphasize wellness and work/life balance in the interview, but it won’t be given. So many compliance violations as well, there is no HR though because the founder doesn’t think this important even when it’s been explained it’s to protect her as the company has MANY labor violations. The founder only knows how small, local nail salons work, she has no concept of a chain let alone laws to comply with. When health benefits have been brought up to eventually offer if the company grow, even 401k, the founder believes the employees don’t want these things and that buying them lunch for working holidays is what they want. Tldr; the founder is toxic, has no understanding how to run a business.

Pros

apparently you get free monthly services? they never told me that, though lol

Cons

Terribly disorganized. The CEO is heavily involved in every aspect of the company, from scheduling at the studios to directing the marketing team, which creates a lot of chaos internally. There is very little friendliness and collaboration within the team due to the culture the CEO has created. Everyone is overworked, no one has any clear direction because the CEO insists on leading everything (and unfortunately she has no idea what she's doing and just asks ChatGPT for advice all day). The CEO's feedback is also very often rude and condescending. Even if you have followed her (often very unclear and nonsensical) directions, your work will still be inadequate in her eyes because she will suddenly change her mind on what she wanted from you to begin with. Plainly, this is nothing more than a vanity project for the CEO. She does not truly care about nails and wellness (she said as much about the former during my last day of work.) All she wants is to be regarded as a wellness guru and thought leader despite having nothing of substance to offer the world. The very structure of her company contradicts the brand's "wellness" ethos (and never mind the toxic ingredients in her "non-toxic" products). Where you would expect work-life balance and a welcoming, collaborative team, you find: a 9-5:30 workday, slack notifications outside of working hours and on weekends, a mere 10 days PTO, a tense office environment, below-average pay, and a team full of overworked interns. You are expected to arrive early and stay late, and will receive disappointed glares if you dare leave at your scheduled time. Meanwhile, you will almost never see the CEO in the office before 10 AM. Avoid this place like the plague. I would be surprised if they last another year unless major changes are made.
