| Manager/Educator |
This company promises alot at the 1st interview and makes you feel they
will promote you and pay you well and offer advancement training in all
aspects of their opportunities for advancement. They have no management
help except for the help of the area supervisor in part of the conn.
market.
This area superviser never even
comes to your store ,unless her boss comes down on her for the store not
growing. That boss would be the regional superviser.
They look at records on paper and then accuse employees of stealing and
then when the manager doesn't change the outcome buy makeing the store
produce more, with their own money for prizes for contests and goal
setting so the staff produces more they fire the manager. They blame the
manager for everything even on their day off. Managers are told to be
available twenty-four seven without pay. The store's also have shift
managers that they pay a whole thirtyfive cents more an hour to handle
cituation's when the manager is off. But if there is a cituation that
happens that they can not reach the manager on their day off, they are
told to call the area supervisor who response in always "Do what you
gotta do" Then the manager is repremanded for being unreachable without
pay. Manager's use to be paid salary but, now they are all paid hourly,
with no chance of a raise. They are paid like stylist's. The more they
produce, the more they make per hour. They are still recponsible for all
aspects of the store's opperations .The most they can make in Conn. is
fifteen dollars per hour according to the scale the company sets. To
make that they have to produce eighty dollars per hour consistantly for
a fifteen day pay period,working 8 hours per day, for fives days per
week. The cost of the services range from a $12.95 haircut to a $25.00
Color service.That means an employee has to produce seven haircuts per
hour, per shift, per day to make $15.00 per hour. That has to be done
consistantly for the pay period that runs form the first of the month to
the 15th, and from the 16th to the end, every shift they work, because
it ends up being a average of those 15 days. So stylist make about $7.50
per hour and the manager makes no more than 11 per hour with no chance
of a raise ever.The benefits suck because the employee pays for the
whole cost and if you want to drop them you can not, but once a year. It
is a dead end company with no chance for more money and the
upper manegment lies to get help. They have lost all their good managers
because they hire people that will work for $8.00 per hour and they are
all 18 years old.
