Pros

If you get into a good store the atmosphere is nice.

Cons

No advanced education or encouragement to find any on your own, impossible to build a clientele, and subpar product - matrix color and perms that don't hold, and designline back bar. they provide styling tools but they aren't even as good as the ones you get in school.

Pros

You get paid commission vs hourly so if you hit your goal you get a chunk of it. That is incentive and you make much more that way then working hourly. ie: 50% of $2000 in service sales (regardless of hours worked) is much better then $10 an hour for 80 hours. excellent location, never short on walk ins!

Cons

company seems to constantly be "reinventing itself" causing lots of confusion and extra work resulting in frustrated stylists. Seems like company is taking away creativity and freedom from the stylists and taking away authority from the managers.
