Salon Managers and Stylists are treated horribly and unfairly by higher up managers.

Pros

My Salon Mgr. was GREAT, she taught me a lot and was very understanding and caring.

Cons

your job is threatened ALL the time for not reaching commission goals. It was impossible to make your commission at that salon because there were not enough. i was fired for not making commission when the regional manager found out i was pregnant when nobody else in the salon was making their commission either.. including the salon mgr. the area manager and regional manager would not return calls for days sometimes weeks. they dont care if you are short staffed and only one person working in the salon from open to close for months.

Great job to perfect your skills, expect no loyalty for the company.

Pros

A good location to help build your skills, although the type of clients in wal mart probably wont follow you, if you were to leave. Clients not loyal either, its who is cheapest and most convienient bottom line.

Cons

Stylists are very low priority for management. We barely have what we need to do the job, and we are constantly pushed harder to obtain excessive sales goals that go straight to upper managements pockets not ours.
