Pros

It's fast-paced, like I love. No chemicals which is even better bc I love to cut!

Cons

Although they recently raised the starting wage, if you were a manager (or anyone with responsibility), it's not enough. It's a lot of stress and on call 24/7, but it's very fulfilling. Open Sunday is the worst thing.
