Pros

So much to offer, unfortunately, it goes unrecognized and not taken advantage of. I’m an instructor and can say that these salons offer more than most. It’s all up to you to build and sell you. No one hands it to you on a silver platter. Put that negativity out of your mind and truly focus on all your given to work with.. you get what you give.

Cons

If your starting out or reentering the field, you will start where everyone starts...entry level. That’s not a con by the way. Your fortunate to have a back up pay and education and clientele at your hands to build from .

I loved working there. I loved my job. I loved meeting new people..

Cons

• Poor management and retaliation for raising concerns • Unauthorized schedule changes with no notice • Unfair NCE pressure and write-ups despite strong sales performance • Micromanagement from 400+ miles away with no understanding of local conditions • High turnover due to bad communication and bullying
