Pros
I loved the fact that you were covered under the company's insurance as long as you followed proper instructions when using chemicals. I say this bc if you're a self employed cosmetologist all lawsuits and complaints are handled directly by you and i didn't have that kind of money or resources to defend myself if this was to occur. They also give free training when they can. You receive bonuses when goals are met. They are always having contests going on for top stylists which makes you want to work hard to win.
Cons
They set goals that often felt unrealistic and it seemed like we had to scam people into getting more services than they came in for originally. That made work feel like sales and that's not what i signed up for. The particular store i worked at was on the outs, but I brought her back to life with my skill and proper training of my crew. I was salon manager for a year, but my district leader was behind on entering my start date into the system which caused me to miss my annual bonus by only 2days!
