Pros

It's a pretty laid back environment, and it would be great for new stylists just trying to get some extra experience.

Cons

You're told that you'll make comission on what you do and that the least you'll earn is a base pay of $7.25, but you have to jump through a million hoops and have an insane clientele if you even want to hope to make commission. People very rairly tip more than $5, even for a full head of color and highlights. And it's a hassle to get any of your online logins once you just start the job.

My store manager was amazing, but the district leader was absolutely horrible.
