      Pros

      built in client base

      Cons

      Schedule is never the same, can't plan a life. understaffed. especially when having coupons for $5.99 haircuts and the customers come in like hoards of locusts. i can cut with the best of them but 5 hrs. strait put me on the disabled list. 6 week s later i'm still not well. hourly pay blows.

      Franchise, low hourly pay, strict/ever-changing dress code, and high turnover.

      Pros

      Good walk-in clientele most of the time. I worked for GC because they are open until 9 p.m. and I could only work for a few hours in the evenings. I was part-time and still could accrue some paid, time off. I, for one, enjoyed the occasional, intermittent on-going paid training. Learned new cutting techniques and about new styling products.

      Cons

      I worked for GC for 5 years and never got any raises even though my statistics were the highest and I had a large clientele and I was a wonderful employee (owner's words, not mine).. Lucky for me, my clients tipped well. Out of 4 managers I worked under, only one was suited for the job and had experience. The owner was neurotic about the dress code and didn't seem to care who was managing his salons as long as it was a warm body.
