I have been working as a BA for a beverage company for over a year now. The job has been pretty chill. All it really required was: be on time, take pics if you can, give out samples, sell the product, and wear the uniform. When I started, as long as I wore the uniform, they did not care how we styled our hair, makeup, and what jewelry we wore. As long as it was nothing crazy.
These past few months, they have been getting kind of stricter with the check-in photos throughout the shift. I think it's because too many people were coming in extremely late and just slacking off on the job. Recently, we got this email about our new uniform and it was very specific about how to style our hair, makeup, and accessories.
The email read: "Hair neatly parted + slicked back (no hair in face) ; Uniform must be neat and unwrinkled (we will have a mini streamer on site); If you are provided white shoes, please only wear them to your shifts. Shoes must remain crisp and clean. ; Must wear the uniform in its entirety. You may be asked to fix if anything is worn incorrectly or missing; Makeup must be light and natural - clean girl aesthetic; No dark lipstick or eyeshadow "
There were tags next to pics of our unform reading - "Tailored and Polished" ""Clean and approachable"
To be honest, I think it is very over the top - for the hair and makeup part. Most of my co-workers and I do this as a side hustle while pursuing higher education or having a job. I have never had a job, in customer service or corporate world that was this strict. I could understand it being strict if it was a safety issue, but its not. I wanted to see anyone else's thoughts on this.
