      Pros

      This is a company that has been through alot, but there are alot of people here that believe in the future and can see that in time things will be better. In fact it's already starting. The new CEO and other new leaders are creating a vision and path, and sharing it with the organizaion, so there are more common goals in place. There are alot of great career opportunities and in many cases a place to grow your career. Employees here have a great passion for what they do.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, the struggles they have had in the past have caused some really good people to leave. But the continuing building is back on.

          Smart style is a great place to learn and grow as a stylist. It was a great place for me to learn how to manage a salon and be a team leader. Made me stronger in sales and marketing.

          Cons

          I can’t complain I enjoyed where I worked.

            Great place to start your career as a hairstylist. Room for growth if you wish to work in the corporate world. Builds a strong foundation of business knowledge. Offers a guaranteed pay, benefits and paid vacation. Lots of people walk through the doors.

            Cons

            I think this is a great place for a stylist starting out since there are so many people who comek this is a great place for a stylist starting out since there are so many people who comek this is a great place for a stylist starting out since there are so many people who come in. As you grow your business it is very tough to continue to increase your pay through the years as you would in other places.

              It's great place to grow and expand responsibilities. Not a matrix org.

              Cons

              Lots of change to navigate.

                Pros

                Unlimited potential on how much you can make. All salons have great locations for walkins so no clientele required to start. They offer benefits which is very rare for the salon environment. They care about their employees and it is a great place to be.

                Cons

                The health benefits they offer could definitely be better, but at least they do offer them. I wish all salons worked on the same pay scale, the base rate/commission scale, not a fan of the sliding scale pay in some of the salons.

                    Pros

                    Lots of hard working and genuinely nice people. Prior to the current CEO and leadership, Regis was a great place to work.

                    Cons

                    Leadership cannot make any positive impact. If they have the will and heart to, someone will stop them. If you value yourself, dignity and morality this is not a great place to work.

                      Regis Corporate salons are a great place to get a start and develop your skills

                      Cons

                      I've been working here most of my career. It's a money hungry corporation. They careless about stylist. All they care about is numbers and how much retail you sell. The only reason I work there because I have bills and rent to pay. I really love doing hair and been doing it for four years now. I know I could work at another salon but it's hard building your clientele. And just getting commission from other salon is not going to pay the rent. It's nice to have the walk-ins .

                    1. What to do if you cannot provide your manager or other leaders as references from your previous workplace? 2. How to answer interview Qs about my previous workplace or manager? For the context! I worked for a workplace for 8-9 months. But, there were ethical issues from the side of leaders including my manager, and senior employees that made me quit my job. Also, many leaders & senior coworkers were either fired or quit their jobs a few months after I did. Thanks in advance!

                    Has anyone ever been called back for a job they were first rejected from only to be rejected again? Does this happen often?

                    During the first screening interview I have been asked at times about my job search status and if I am talking to others. While this is probably a question they have no right to ask, I wonder if there is a right or wrong answer. If I say I am interviewing with 2-3 companies, they may feel it is not worth the extra effort to continue the discussion. If I say I am not actively interviewing, it may be a negative sign. Any idea about where they are coming from? (WFH & free agent for a while)
