Pros

Great place to build your clientele, especially if you are newly liscenced. Heavy traffic flow with lots of potential clients as we are located inside of Walmart. Lots of contests between stylists and between other smart styles salons with cash prizes or select free tools. Continued education to keep you with the up to date trends.

Cons

Lots of weekends. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are super busy. In our salon it's mandatory to work every other Sunday. We have a great manager who understands family time is also important so she does give weekends off.

• 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
