Pros

Discounts are great if you don't mind spending your whole check

Cons

Old clients never bring new ones, so its a waiting game to get new clients. The monthly goals are unrealistic and unless you are fully booked every day you are making minimum wage.

Pros

Laid back work, nice people to work with.

Cons

Sales driven. There doesn't seem to be much training on how they want the cashiers to do their job.
