Pros

The structure of the company looks great on the surface. And it's a great place to learn With there online modules . The pay was fair at the time With the potential for promotion.

Cons

Pay structure was changeand in early 2023 Which means you made less. Management, including uppermanagement, is too busy promoting themselves. To really tackle the issues that are in the salon environment. And If you happen to get promotion they may not honor it. Also they're very deceptive
