Pros

Good Quality Products used, Great training, Clean Salon, Guaranteed Hourly pay in salon.

Cons

You are expected to have 60 clients rebook with you every month before any advancement on part time hours. New stylists get first dibs on new Clients even if they were hired a day after you and there are three of them! You are expected to go up to customers and convert them into your clients if you are not busy in the salon. Favoritism is a huge problem. Being treated like a child and being brought into the office for "Coaching" constantly.

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
