Pros

Good to their brands Training company wide for brands Company has huge potential Great reputation in retailers Beauty educators are the best of the best. Learn more about makeup if you are still fresh in the field like I was Headkount can really put your brand on top Every one loves their team in store so they support headkounts brands

Cons

No room for growth Conflicts of interest within management were very concerning and alarming Unpredictable schedule creates no work/life balance All expectation with no concern They don't play by their own rules How could you tell yourself that you are up holding your mission statement of caring and providing a career path for your BE's with such a high turnover rate. And no growth opportunities No transparency, honesty or integrity within management Managers could be rude mean and dishonest Mediocre pay but they expect you to be the best of the best. But your hourly rate and paychecks are not great and doesn't align. Schedule was usually late and altered day of with no notice. This is why I had to leave because I am a mom. Poor communication and ethics They try to pay you as little as possible no matter what you do right No benefits or insurance as they purposefully only hire part time salespeople. This creates expensive high turnover and instability. Poor work life balance. Unpaid holidays in traffic in San Francisco

Pros

You get a pay check.

Cons

Disorganized and poorly managed. There is a major disconnect between management and what actually happens in the field. Communication is inconsistent or nonexistent, and expectations change constantly with no clear direction. Management comes off as incompetent and reactive. Scheduling is unreliable, availability is ignored, and there’s no respect for employees’ time. In the beauty industry, this agency is not taken seriously—it’s more of a joke than a reputable partner. I would not recommend this company if you have a pulse.
