Pros

You can help build your clientele. They tax your tips for you.

Cons

You can’t take their clients to another salon if you quite. Their commission program is a lie. You have to make a set amount a pay period to even get 40% commission. I knew good stylist who had worked there years and never made anything more than $11 a hour. Horrible management. Changes all the time.
