Support, Education and Community - Driving growth in individuals alongside the demands of a busy retail industry. - Area Manager SkinKandy Employee Review

-Made some great friends… that’s where it ends.

-This company is a money-hungry, mental health damaging, underpaying, ‘retail’ provider who don’t care about staff wellbeing OR customers. (To still claim ‘body piercer’, someone who handles needles, possible blood borne diseases and bodily fluids on a daily basis, as ‘retail’ is absolutely insane) -Higher ups play favourably and selfishly; if you’re not in the mean girls club, consider yourself an outcast. -Quality in all sectors have dropped dramatically year-by-year, including piercing training procedures! -Staff are used and abused, no work-life balance, and worked until they are forced into mental breakdowns and then made to feel bad when taking any/ all holidays or mental health leave. -The ‘new’ CEO has completely destroyed the vision of what SK used to be when it thrived and made people feel recognised and understood. They’re now on their ‘clean girl’ era and all of the alternative people are made to feel like the odd ones out… THESE PEOPLE ARE THE REASON YOUR BUSINESS IS STILL ALIVE. THEY DESERVE RECOGNITION. -Leadership is a joke and full of fear-mongering tactics! If KPIs aren’t hit to the degree they ask for- managers and the teams cop flack and they have piss-poor incentives/ no incentives/ no commissions (a ‘boost juice’ is not a great incentive for working your bum off for 38-40 hours a week… 🙄 just saying) -Everything about this company, basically just sucks and is inauthentic and poorly ran by a bunch of narcissists.

Decent staff discount & trauma bonds with coworkers

Terrible management with unrealistic expectations placed on staff. The workplace culture is toxic and hostile, with bullying behaviour from upper management creating a stressful and uncomfortable environment. Constant gossip, often coming directly from management about staff members, contributes heavily to the negativity. Upper management regularly pits team members against each other, creating unnecessary drama and tension instead of encouraging a supportive or professional workplace. Poor communication, lack of support, and constant pressure made it difficult to feel valued or respected as an employee.
