Cons

There are not enough hours for part time.

Cons

Lots of standing and being restricted to stay in certain areas

Cons

The workload is a lot, district leader and corporate management only want you to wear rose colored glasses, the raise is almost insulting, if you’re only a part time assistant you get compensated unfairly compared to full time, your bonus is way smaller (more than half the amount) and you get zero benefits.

Cons

going through a lot of changes the last 2 years. Continuously changing environment

Cons

As a manager, I spent more time as a stylist than getting any of my projects done because we were understaffed and I refused to let my stylist be alone on both dressing room (always a high focus because of the hands on approach to customers) and the register. Management is somehow supposed to change the store all the time, but not during store hours and not after hours (because God forbid they pay an extra $13/hour more than they have to). The expectations are way too high for the salary, and the stylists do more work than they would be expected at any other retail store, for the same pay and no commission. Also the hours are almost full time, but of course just under so you don't get benefits or time off. They also disrespected my request to attend church 3 out of 4 Sundays a month, which would be doable if all four managers would alternate. And two of the managers didn't attend, so I'm not sure why I couldn't just take more Saturdays. Not even sure that's legal but I don't work there anymore so whatever.

Cons

Many changes in management over the last few years. Many jobs consolidated. Most management is new and struggling to figure out what is working in new retail climate. Can be very stressful.

Cons

Terrible work life balance. Unrealistic expectations on small teams with no payroll hours. VERY LOW PAY!!!!! Don’t expect to move up in the company. Leaders don’t post or say when there is available openings because they do not want to loose the staff they have to another store. Don’t expect really any hours if you are part-time. The company is not family friendly expectation is to work 2 Sunday’s a month before,during and after store closes. Same goes for Monday mornings,day and after the store closes on Monday so you are more then likely looking at midnight...so good luck on seeing your loved ones. Don’t expect to earn a livable wage no overtime. So these hours are generally under 40.

Cons

Leadership turnover, struggling business, reactionary

Cons

There are no cons

Cons

A lot of random changing rules with new branding initiatives
