Pros

great benefits, nice staff, clean store, great employee discount

Cons

The JCP salon I worked at was located in a town of a population of about 50 thousand. I was there for 3 years and would have stayed if I hadn't got so frustrated. Our salon was very outdated , in the back of the store, so most customers didn't even know we had a salon. Because of this , it was almost impossible for a stylist without a clientele to make a living, so turnover was rampant. The salon division encouraged us salon managers to hire Master Stylist with a clientele book. This proved to be very unrealistic. The Master Stylist who were already established at other cute, hip salons did not see the benefit of uprooting their current clientele for a salon located inside a Big Box store, near the bathrooms, in a tired and outdated salon.
