Great for students!

Sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. Most of my co-workers were either former hair stylists or cosmetology students, so they were always willing to teach me about the products.

Cons

Low pay but it's also an entry level position.

Not even if you're desperate

Retail store manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Customers are really nice and they do sell great products in store.

Cons

Don't walk but run as fast as you can. The job is easy for the most part and customers are great .Upper management is horrible!! Be prepared to work open to closes with no overtime. My raise was literally .13 cents and that's with making most of my goals. They will tell you about the bonus structure, but the goals are truly unachievable. My first Red flag was how everyone stayed quiet, defeated, and miserable on zoom meetings.Before the economy took a turn for the worst they literally couldn't hold on to a managers. If you're completely desperate for a job, I can't even say I'd recommend one.
