Pros

They have great continuing education, which is offered for free. They also have a very flexible schedule, which was great when I was working around a full time college schedule. Excellent place to start out, because of the high volume of walk in clientele.

Cons

It is corporate owned, which means a lot of bogus things you have to do, like games to keep you "motivated." You have to sell a certain percentage of product to clients, which can get irritating if you're not a pushy kind of person.
