Pros

Gratis, some of the co-workers, equipment and products provided, flexibility with schedule

Cons

Low wage, low client base, too many coupons/free services, expected to assist clients on salesfloor when not servicing a client (we're trained hair stylists, not sales associates), corporate management is overbearing, not enough ongoing education (only 4 classes offered per year), difficult to advance to levels beyond Designer 1

Pros

Gratis There are good hard working people that want to do well. I am still there (barely) because I haven’t completely given up that things will be handled/addressed correctly for those not aligned with company vision and expectations. However after 5 years of inaction it’s hard to believe that positive change will actually and maybe just maybe Myself and others that are dedicatedI will be recognized vs taken for granted.

Cons

No furthering development Keep toxic (leaders especially) allowing unacceptable behavior conduct and violation of company code Communication is very poor…it’s inconsistent,For example managers are not provided with direct email accounts so it’s a community email box. This causes a large amount of information to be read by the wrong audience and is not communicated if read by the wrong leader
