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.

Pros

Plenty of walk ins at busier locations, everything is provided for you, flexible enough for you to bring your own clientele and provide any services you do

Cons

Management and pay is awful at corporate locations!! No stylist should make minimum wage. Lots of confusion on pricing especially for higher cost services, sometimes there are issues with product quality or even getting products (color-old toners/colors or missing crucial products out of shipments like perms etc.), tools that are provided are really crappy
