Pros

Money in your pocket, not having to build clientele,

Cons

Only close 5 days a year, open evenings and weekends. Schedules put out so late you can't make plans, only able to take vacation in 1 week increments. Not the place to work if you have young kids and have to rely on daycare. If kid is wick and you cannot come in, managers will punish you by giving you all the bad shifts, or guilt you into coming in.

Because each salon is independently owned and operated, your franchisee would be the best person to address your concerns. Please contact them directly regarding any issues with employment.
