Pros

Other than my manager and some of the girls I work with not many pros.

Cons

Manegment and upper levels to top of company no longer care about the quality of hair that is being put out. All they care about is monetary productivity including using sale of retail to raise your commission rate.... if you don’t hit the goals you never get a higher commission rate. They just changed color lines... switched from redken color gels (which sucked to begin with) to redken lacquers—as far as we stylists can tell it covers gray hair horribly!!!!!! Atleast 80% of the time Gels covered gray but this line it just doesn’t work that great when ur covering darker on a head that has 25% or more of gray. Pto is very hard and time consuming to accrue and once you do accrue it it’s hard to take unless you call out “sick” because you have to find coverage and no one ever wants to cover. They have taken away the matching in the 401k and many girls have left for that reason alone... and their healthcare option truly is horrendous. It’s NOT a typical plan of any sort it is only a discount program only, no help in hospital stays and also NO prescription plan of any sort(not even a discount program for that)!!!! Salon manegment HATES when u take ur break in order to eat and will literally harass you or scream from the front that their are guests waiting.

Pros

Close-knit group of coworkers, casual/relaxed management style, busy location

Cons

not much flexibility for schedules (have to work late nights), color line is limited and low quality, no support from upper management and salon needed a lot of updates that I think have been taken care of now, but were left in unacceptable condition for a long time. Also, not enough structure to who takes walk-ins, which led to laziness, drama, and bad customer service.
