Pros

making great friends with fellow employees

Cons

1. owner is weirdly obsessed with your outside life and will make passive aggressive comments about hanging out with employees outside of work. 2. you will be expected to be on call 24/7, regardless of if its your day off, or you’re on vacation, or if its after hours. there is zero help, appreciation, work life balance, or care for you as a person at all. 3. there are no actual goals communicated with you but, if you don’t reach “a goal”, you are berated, humiliated during leadership meetings, and spoken to like you are a child. there is zero help with ideas on how to improve whatever goals are randomly set for that day (because what is important is constantly changing - but not communicated. you have to figure that out on your own via mind reading). honestly too many to list, you get the gist.

Pros

Flexible schedule tips are good, but you get taxed on them

Cons

Work weekend, switch your schedule, or call it a labor cut the day before and tell you not to show up.

Pros

The customers are lovely and you do a lot of wedding/formal occasion hair, and the non-admin employees are all great to qork with.

Cons

Oh god. Where to start....because I'm an experienced stylist, I got exactly 1.5 days of training of the week we were promised. The owner sold the position to me as a high-paying, drama-free position, but I make $12/hr plus maybe $5/appointment, so I make around $18-20/hr, and the only benefits we get is one free blowout a week, but itust take place durong the first half of the week...i was deliberately acheduled so I work all weekends and have off durong those days....I do mot recieve any benefits at all......no insirance, nothing. And on top of that, the owner IS THE DRAMA. She's not a stylist so she has no idea what state board's requirements are, and she keeps enforcing her own aesthetic preferences over corporate policy. I used to think it wasn't on purpose, but lately I'm positive she's being intentionally discriminatory. There's zero flexibility with hours for anyone except the manager, who takes hours off here and there when it benefits them, and the owner hires the bare minimum stylists to cover the hours needed, and cuts corners on EVERYTHING just to make an extra dollar or two. I frequently end up being the only stylist on shift on busy days. I had massively high hopes for this job and they got squashed within my first day.
