Paid much better then other Regis divisions

Salon manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get paid commission vs hourly so if you hit your goal you get a chunk of it. That is incentive and you make much more that way then working hourly. ie: 50% of $2000 in service sales (regardless of hours worked) is much better then $10 an hour for 80 hours. excellent location, never short on walk ins!

Cons

company seems to constantly be "reinventing itself" causing lots of confusion and extra work resulting in frustrated stylists. Seems like company is taking away creativity and freedom from the stylists and taking away authority from the managers.

Pros

Lesson in knowing who not to work for!

Cons

You have absolutely no authority as a manager to do anything. They have bottom of the barrel stylists working there. You can't fire them because they can't retain the few good ones that come along. So they hang on to the bad ones. And keep recycling bad employees over and over.
