Loved working for this company when I first started. After 2018 they stopped caring about their employees. Almost zero growth opportunity’s. Post covid salary cut by 30% and job changed from salary to hourly with commission. Brand used to be about artistry, people, and sales. All sales focused now. Zero work life balance.

Pros and Cons
Good product discount and free products
Terrible work life balance, 0 support from management and training, very little growth opportunity.
