Fast growth within company many opportunities through the United States if you wanted to move around! Great pay! Extreme gratitude towards employees I’ve never experienced this type of equality in the hair industry!

Cons

The only con I have is I was by mistake told I would have health insurance from start date but policy change and I do not get until 90 days but that’s normal lol
