What are perks and other benefits like at Sally Beauty?

Good pay, decent hours, good benefits,

They don’t do raises except for once a year, they don’t promote, if you want to grow you have to beg but even then they won’t help, and god forbid your coworker becomes aggressive with you because management will take the side of the aggressor and will actively blame you for the stores problems. Just don’t have any mental disabilities because from personal experience, they’ll still blame you

I have worked for SBH in a division of BSG their professional beauty organization for almost 9 years. I’ve always been treated fairly, have great benefits and leadership is extremely supportive of my growth. Even more, the fact that they maintained their DEI (we call them DBI) programs I'm the current climate makes me extremely proud to work for them.

Two many cooks in the kitchen in certain areas. It requires too many eyes or too many touches to get things done.

flexible scheduling is just about the only pro to this job

no room for growth- i know a fellow Sally's employee who has been with the company for over 4 years and has never gotten a raise. they started me at a higher rate than people who have been with the company for years and that doesn't feel fair. upper management does not care about the health or wellbeing of employees, and encourages people to come to work sick if they are not able to find coverage because if you miss a shift without a doctor's note you get written up. chronically understaffed and turnover rate is incredibly high due to lack of benefits and fair wages.

Offers benefits for part time workers and good employee discount. Allows you to wear colorful hair.

Not many positions to grow

PTO/vacation time and benefits for part time employees, 30% product discount

High expectations for lower wages, not enough hours, seems the only way to get full time is to have your SM quit or die or be moved to a different store to be a TSM/ASM/SM

30% off discount at Sally's and 20% off at Cosmoprof

Terrible management Higher ups are an absolute nightmare Terrible pay and next to no benefits Toxic workplace environment

Good benefits, competitive pay, overall simple job

Upper management can be iffy depending on where you are

Medical Benefits even for part time, PTO, holidays, discount at Sally Beauty and cosmoprof.

The pay isn’t great, and not a lot of room for growth. It’s a great part time job if you don’t have benefits at your full time job, or if you’re newer in retail management. You still need experience in management, but it’s a great stepping stone.

The employee discount was the only good part of working at Sally’s.

My initial manager was great, but left and was replaced. My new manager cut everyone’s hours from 24-30 to 16 or less and hired her own friends and family to work the hours she took from us. Demanded I give her an entirely OPEN availability for ANY day or time to be guaranteed a measly 20 hours a week. Can’t survive on that and can’t have open availability to have a second job, what are you supposed to do? On top of that, chemicals were often stored incorrectly or haphazardly, we were often scheduled ALONW and told we were not allowed to lock the front doors to use the bathroom if the store was empty (HUGE safety risk in my opinion, our bathroom was in the back of the store BEHIND our stock room and it was impossible to hear the front door or bell from there). Demanded that we shove a terrible credit card down the throats of everyone who stepped through our doors. If we didn’t, and didn’t get a certain number of sign ups per month, we were told that our hours would be taken away. It was NOT a commission based position nor was it ever advertised as being such. We earned next to nothing for people getting the credit card, maybe a couple of dollars, and it had absolutely no benefit to a standard customer, and even for professionals to get the CosmoProf card was silly. To top it all off, their hourly wages are absolutely laughable, as are their “raises”. I was hired in 2020, right before the pandemic, at $10 an hour. My state does have a low minimum wage, federal minimum of $7.25. Sally’s in the area are now hiring at $13. They pay store managers about $16 an hour, which is ridiculous for the amount of responsibilities given. Again, I was often scheduled alone, so not only was I doing the customer service portion of the job, I was also doing all opening/closing and managerial duties on these days, including prepping bank deposits and making them at the bank. For $10 an hour. When it came time for reviews, promotions were absolutely out of the question no matter what. My hard earned “raise” was 24 cents an hour after a YEAR of service. I was never able to receive insurance or other benefits either because our DM directed managers to schedule accordingly so that all part-time employees would always be under the company’s requirements for benefits (part-time employees needed a year under their belt, and must have worked a certain amount of hours during that time to qualify for insurance, 401k and other benefits). DO NOT work for Sally Beauty.

Nice team and cross collaborations; no micromanagement

Not great opportunities for career advancement; not market competitive in pay and benefits
