Pros

Consistent hourly pay. Walk out with tips daily. Full access to color product.

Cons

Inconsistent scheduling. I went through about 5-6 managers while employed. None of which knew how to run a store. Most were hired above long term employees and hadn’t little or no management experience. There is a lot of pressure put on stylists to sell retail, however there is not a full retail backbat available.

They need to get organized

Pros

It provides you with an opportunity to build clients and get established as a stylist.

Cons

They are unorganized as a company and always changing policies to make it beneficial for the company not the workers. You have to work a year to get vacation but you also lose your vacation on your anniversary date. They changed how they keep up with vacation time and most employees lost time and was never giving time back.
