Pros
i honestly can't think of any. it was that bad.
Cons
where do i start? i was hired as a full time esthetician at whyte. i was straight out of school and didn't have clientele. they promised me i would definitely build it there. little did i know that they maybe had 5 clients a day, salon and spa combined, unless there was a pedicure party. even in the interview i felt sketched out. the owner asked me a lot of personal questions like my marital status etc. he worded it as "do you have a man taking care of you at home?" despite being hired FULL TIME i would get sent home or told not to come in probably 3/5 shifts a week, sometimes more. management was non existent and we went through receptionists and managers so frequently. no real training. no real adherence to health and safety or sanitation. i never saw any disinfectants. equipment is out of date and often broken, products are expired, and the prices are absurd. mostly everyone just sat around doing nothing and playing on their phones, but only in areas w/o cameras because otherwise the owner would get us in trouble from head office because he just sits there and watches everyone. did i mention that the salon often did not have anyone other than apprentice hairstylists which is illegal? they take an hour off your wages every shift to account for your lunch regardless of whether you have time to take it or not. one of my coworkers was an older woman who was clearly the owner's favourite. she would yell at other staff, sometimes in arabic and sometimes in english, where clients could very clearly hear her, including her own clients. clients AND staff complained about her but she never got in trouble, even when clients complained about her giving poor services (the one i saw had gotten cut during a manicure with her and got sloppy nail polish application). she would bully all the other staff into doing cleaning for her too and blame her messes on them. the last straw for me was being told by the owner in front of EVERYONE ELSE at a staff meeting that i was not doing well and wasn't making him money and wasn't bringing in clients, when i had told him from the get go that i had no clients!!! do not work here. do not get services here. just stay far far far away.
