Pros

I have a the Best opportunity to showcase my Talents & Skills as a Hair Designer!

Cons

Pay isn't up to par for the work performed, and We're treated not as skilled employees??? There's No actual Breakroom for us to sit down and have our lunch in! Being inside of "Walmart" we get a very unsteady cheap clientele that comes through our doors that are not always repeaters.
