Pros

Great group of girls to work with. Talented and experienced and most of them were so helpful throughout a treacherous training period with management and a senior employee. The stylists as well working for the app are very talented. The app itself has a lot of potential, I just think management is perhaps holding them back.

Cons

Not sure where to begin. Since I was only there a short while, the training period itself consisted of the senior employee (who I would ultimately be managing) training me on the "how to's" of an extremely outdated and inefficient system. I am not sure how effective degrading your trainee is but apparently that's how they think training should be done. Coming from another app, I was shocked at how this company continued to work productively with this system! It's blatantly ineffective and management didn't seem to care. All they cared about which was not mentioned to me in my interview was someone to "manage the girls". All of the team which was only made up of 4 women, who were clearly self reliant since management does not help. Again I will say I was trained by my employee and not by my direct manager. Furthermore, one of the major reasons for my departure was the "transparency" they stated they gave me was ultimately an untruth. This position was to alleviate the CEOs from actually manning their team and they expected me to be available 24/7. On my day off, I had to leave a lunch with family to assist "my team". They expect one person to run the business alone on the busiest day of the business yet want their manager to be available to them. Business sense is something they are lacking and I do believe that to be their downfall.
