Pros

Great clientele , always busy. Base pay, they provide you with your tools and equipment. Co workers are pretty friendly

Cons

Pay. Management. They expect so much for so little. You're getting paid minimum wage for something that you went to school for which is crap. They want you to sell retail more than do hair.
