Pros

Easy to get hired! They will take anyone with a licence. They supply everything but sheers!

Cons

You are expected at 38percent commition, to answer phones sell product and cut hair clean shelfs and fold towels all at the same time! Very unfair to the customer!

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
