Amazing interviews, yet goose eggs......

I have been working my butt off trying to get a semblence of the type of management positions​ I held before I contracted a severe kidney disease that put me on dialysis for 3 1/2 years. By exercise, following​ doctors orders to the letter and a strict diet and meditation, I got myself off dialysis and permission to return to work. This is very important, because my income had dropped fro $50,000-$60,000+ to 1/5 during that time not working. (S.S benefits only) Prior to this I had worked in high-end hotels and restaurants on both coasts (including beginning my mgt. career in Beverly Hills for 7 years). I'm from the Pennsylvania area originally and reside here now. Over the course of 20+ years, I went from a waiter in a 5 Star hotel to the youngest Dir. of F+B in the LA area in a 4-5 Star hotel. I worked with some celebrity chefs. As a G.M. managed a restaurant that received "The Best Of" in a site in Pa's. version of Bev. Hills. After 3 1/2 yrs. of Dialysis, I dropped 120 lbs. and look much like I did as a college freshman. So I look thinner ( I'm 6'1" 185). But I feel great. I was honest on my cover letters/ resume about the kidney failure, but the rest of my experience is stellar. To make things worse, one item on my resume doesn't seem to get the credit I deserve. About 15 yrs ago I managed 2 popular restaurants for, probably the most successful restauranteurs​ on the east coast when he only had 6 properties (he now has around 40+). I saw some serious problems and potential major corruption with a G.M . I assisted. I wasn't believed and actually accused of some of his malfeasance. I was to be suspended for something I didn't do when I was offered a multi-outlet mgt. position in a major hotel and took it. The next week that G.M. went on a drug binge disappearing with 2 girls,leaving his family and job during New Year's Week. Instead of an apology, somehow that famous restauranteur resents me and I feel Blacklisted because "I told him so!" Now after everything I've overcome, no one hires me for even assistant mgt jobs, yet I've been told many times my resume is the best my interviewers have seen and in many cases told I have more experience than them. Currently, I just pick up part-time catering shifts for survival.

My advice to people interested in working at #BeautyBrands as a #AssistantManager ...

I would not recommend anyone to work for beauty brands. I believed the District Managers numerous times that policy and procedures would be handled correctly due to it effecting the work place. When the new Market Manager came in, I was also told and promised numerous times things would change. Nothing was ever done. They turned blind to the problems that were being created by a Master Stylists and Beauty Concierge Shift Manager and Estetition

As an Assistant Manager this company does not back you up when you reach out to them as you are told you can. I also believed the it was going to be an amazing place to work due to the CEO was the previous CEO of Ulta. Not so much. When you go through the proper channels to correct policy violations and you do not have the support, instead they put the blame on you and try to make it look like it was you to have an excuse to let you go......This is not a company I would ever work for again, or recommend to ANYONE

I worked hard for this company for two years ,!! Made it all the way up yo asst manager and they continued to pay me 9$ an hour! I worked salary hours, I stayed overtime countless times 18-20 hours a day !! I worked for every restaurant in Columbus for bojangles , victory dr Schoenberg rd and airport thruway!! I never receive a raise and every payday I had to call the district manager about my check not being the hours I worked for!! I put in my dedication for two years and the district manager discrimination towards me lead to my departure!! They paid shift managers the exact same as me!! But all the other asst managers and and managers all made salary pay!! I simply talked to the district manager and he simply told me get what I give you or you can leave!! After all I did for the company they where not willing to give me not a quarter!! I will not recommend any African American to work for this company they will discriminate against you . They only hire young black women for manager because they want to have ladies and not men that they will have to pay for their hard work, as the white people get salary pay up to 40,000 dollars a year sad but true
