Positive Reviews From Fantastic Sams Employees

  • What are some of the best things about your team?
    The other ladies I work with are kind, understanding and caring. We can all get along pretty well for the most part, and we can turn to each other for guialdance as needed.
  • What did you like most about the interview process?
    I lived Welch management they hired me same day and started next morning. After interview they didn't have much interaction unless I went in for training .which I passed 100.00
  • What makes you most happy at work?
    Pleasing my clients and growing as a professional

Constructive Feedback From Fantastic Sams Employees

  • What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
    They have this idea that we are supposed to get them in and out super fast when that's not how every service works because we ate all at different levels of experience. We don't make appointments and people get mad about that. Sometimes, a hair service will be so rushed that the clients leave a mess
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    There are both benefits for working parttime in this company. Also, in Indiana, they don't do student Ioans like they do in Louisville, so the benefits for new stylists are not the same.
  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    They need to improve on their tone when talking to employees about any issues. They step in too much to take over clients with new stylists. They make every experience for stylists feel like a personal attack when the stylist isn't fast enough for their 10+ years stamdards.
