Pros

Good co workers and hair stylists, decent prices, wide variety of products to choose from, store discount, discount on hair services

Cons

Manager was only allowed so many hours to give to the receptionists at low pay. I worked for commission when I first started then it was changed to no commission but they raised my hourly wage. Then the receptionist position was eliminated so I was forced to apply for jobs elsewhere. Now the receptionist position is back so I can't say how things have changed since that happened. Not only was the Salon Manager on the receptionists about every little thing, the store managers were as well. Many people forget that the salon receptionists are the glue to the salon, we make things run efficiently with scheduling, selling product, calling to fix schedule conflicts, etc.

Pros

Laid back work, nice people to work with.

Cons

Sales driven. There doesn't seem to be much training on how they want the cashiers to do their job.
