Pros

I really enjoyed learning about different ethnic hair styles. I enjoyed working a few of my co-workers.

Cons

Minimum wage and little advancement in the company. Management made their own hours and left the me and one other person to close most of the time. I also had a major gallbladder attack and my manager didn't care and was more worried about if she was going to get her lunch when I was running a 102 plus fever and asked to go home early. Three dates later I had emergency gallbladder surgery!!
