Pros

A good location to help build your skills, although the type of clients in wal mart probably wont follow you, if you were to leave. Clients not loyal either, its who is cheapest and most convienient bottom line.

Cons

Stylists are very low priority for management. We barely have what we need to do the job, and we are constantly pushed harder to obtain excessive sales goals that go straight to upper managements pockets not ours.
