Pros

There are free CEU classes on Hairstylist Appreciation Week

Cons

Extraordinarily LOW pay. It is not based on the current cost of living. The raises are under a dollar. 0.36 cents Upper management is misguided on what help looks like. The company Fakes improvement to keep associates and managers happy, but the improvement does not help with the job.
