Felt threatened by other stylists

Manager

Business Outlook

Pros

I loved the fact I had control of my own salon it felt like. And when I had customers there to buy retail or services I felt I serviced them to the best that anyone could and I had so many great clients I will miss dearly. My district leader was the best I have ever had she is amazing. And I had one stylist that I love dearly and loved the other ones but they had it from the beginning that they did not want me there and so they can go back to being open two days a week again when I had it everyday

Cons

Racism against white people which included myself Got paid same or less than regular stylists and never got an answer as to why my pay was wrong the whole time

They need to get organized

Salon manager

Business Outlook

Pros

It provides you with an opportunity to build clients and get established as a stylist.

Cons

They are unorganized as a company and always changing policies to make it beneficial for the company not the workers. You have to work a year to get vacation but you also lose your vacation on your anniversary date. They changed how they keep up with vacation time and most employees lost time and was never giving time back.
