beGlammed Dallas - Make-Up Artist and Hairstylist beGlammed Employee Review

Great place to work. You learn a lot and it’s fast-paced. Everyone is hard-working, always smiling, and willing to help. Nice environment.

Can’t think of anything that sticks out to me as an outright bad experience.

Forging relationships with the artists

You won't be paid more than 40-45k, regardless of experience; employees are basically hired based on who will accept the lowest salary. You'll likely be insulted by any offer extended (example: salaries basically determined by how little a company in California can legally get away with paying its employees without breaking labor laws). Management is a nightmare. Employees are very undervalued. Everyone is expected to work 60-80 hour weeks, with absolutely no remote work allowed, and they even give various punishments for work-week tardiness. There is no CTO, nor is there a single technology person in-house. To make matters worse, the company execs do not have experience working in (let alone running) a company in the technology space at all, so being at beGlammed feels comparable to being in the backseat of a car going 100mph, with a blind and deaf driver at its wheel; the Founder is a MUA who doesn't hold any kind of 4-year acclaimed university degree, the CEO is an attorney with even less relevant experience, & the CSO, prior to beglammed, was a health counselor. They are in desperate, desperate need of someone with an MBA to come in and overhaul the entire operation. To their credit, the structure is a disorganized mess, so my experience being there is nothing more than a reflection of the disarray with which it operates. The lack of professionalism is also quite shocking.
