Pros

Good coworkers Flexible hours High traffic being inside Walmart

Cons

Franchise owner and regional manager did very little to help when we were low on retain product and backbar product. Had to be very frugal with the products we used on clients and break our heads when we did not have the color that the client needed applied because there was a very low budget and sometimes we wouldn't get shipments of color for weeks, People would ask if the salon was going out of business because of how little retail product we had.
