Could be better!

Pros

Flexible schedule, my DL was one of the best people I've met, I could not have asked for a better district leader.

Cons

Corporate not including my Senior District Leader did not care about the welfare of the stylist the low pay and high threshold goals make it impossible to make for stylist to make fair living without sacrificing family. the company would be better if they would take care of their stylist the same way they expect stylist to take care of the customers. They are located inside of Walmart stores and offer 30% discount to Walmart employees, However, Walmart employees are paid at least $2.25 higher than the stylist that will get only 35% of the price of the service provided. This company has a extremely high turn over rate which should tell them they have alot of restructuring to do and if they were as SMART as their name they would start with the people on the front line.

Pros

Garaunteed hourly pay, vacation after 1 year, some benefits. They have medical insurance but it's not great. Usually a slower paced salon so good for starting out.

Cons

Stigma of "working in walmart", if you're not hitting commission pay is very low. Their solution is for you to try and get guests out of Walmart. Don't get retail commission unless you hit service commission. Upper management is all about numbers- some have never been stylists before. Don't match 401k. Insurance plan isn't good- vision isn't offered anymore.

Pros

This job was fun at first and gave me some experience in cutting hair. I made some good friends and got customer service experience.

Cons

This company is a joke. The base pay was minimum wage and it doesn't stay busy enough to have a chance at making commission or decent tips. I was promised a store manager position and then someone who didn't even work for the company before came in and took over and ran the store down horribly. They don't care about their employees at all.
