Pros

Free hair color and products, some really great team membets

Cons

Leadership team is completely incompetent when it comes to the very basics of their jobs, e.g. managing people, setting strategic goals, evaluating performance. As a result, damage control is the default, not the exception to the rule. Someone else said people are fired without cause or notice and it's completely true. Instead, people are fired because managers and founders are completely misaligned and have failed to do their jobs so subordinates are flailing to figure out how to even do their jobs. On top of all this, add a big dose of shockingly old-fashioned misogyny and disrespect. Senior leadership will find their cellphones far more interesting than any presentation a female team member is giving. They may even laugh at you or roll their eyes.

Pros

eSalon has a genuinely kind group of people who care about the product and the customer experience. It is a collaborative environment where coworkers often support one another, and there is a sense of shared pride in building something unique in the hair care space. Work-life balance is manageable. The product itself is strong, and it is rewarding to see positive customer feedback on something you help bring to market.

Cons

Career growth and internal mobility can be limited. The organization tends to lean toward maintaining stability rather than actively optimizing for performance, which can make it difficult for high performers to move into roles that match their strengths or career goals.
