Awful management

Pros

Instant clientele, but no marketing for the salon. So some days are SLOWWWW and others busy. Hit or miss with it, but if you stick it out you can build a clientele.

Cons

Management is awful. There's no HR department so my supervisor seemed to treat us however he wanted but would report lies to the owner to bring himself in good favor to her. He was a slob and never cleaned up after himself. I got fed up with the drama and disrespect. Not every location is like this hopefully, but the one I was at was awful.

Pros

Customers and being located in Walmart so I could shop before I got off work were the only pros.

Cons

Pay...worked alone to carry store clientele which was very low but a lot on one person, accused of things by the owners which were lies ....I was trying to maintain store alone and the with no prior experience. The store eventually closed...figures
