Pros

Worked for the same store location since 2016 and we became a little family, which is something hard to come by (though, I know this will be different depending on your manager and team), very thoughtful and caring manager, flexible with scheduling. We have had two DMs (district managers) during my time employed, both have fought for the stores/employees in our district. Sally's is very inclusive and actively strives to make the work environment accommodating and comfortable for everybody.

Cons

Very little store hours: only managers (and ASMs, if you're even able to have one at your location) get 40+ hours a week. Over my tenure of working for the company, I've seen corporate do some questionable things / make questionable decisions that affect us at the store-level. By this, I mean KPIs/weekly goals/monthly goals have changed often, and those who changed it often have never worked in a store environment, making us little-guys have to be like "hey, this isn't working and you're trying to punish us for it..." To elaborate, a lot of the time, it seems the company ONLY cares about numbers. Benefits are not the best, for full or part time, and hourly pay isn't great, but it is better than some other places.

Pros

Trying new products Assisting customers with product recommendations Commission on certain items

Cons

The daily revenue quota was at times very unrealistic and unattainable. A lot of pressure was put on our team to sell x/dollars per day but sometimes it just wasn't realistic (bad weather, lots of returns some days).

Pros

The people I worked with were always really cool and it was honestly a very easy job.

Cons

Upper level management was too uptight about certain goals that were unrealistic for beauty advisors, but there was never any big repercussions. Too little pay for the amount of work I did.
