Pros

Good for beginner stylists to get an idea of salon enviornment

Cons

Expected to put salon before family emergencies, or family in general. Poor pay. Customers aren’t always nice or understanding. Huge expectations for poor compensation. Expected to make commission, EXTREMELY difficult to do so.
