Pros

great benefits, nice staff, clean store, great employee discount

Cons

The JCP salon I worked at was located in a town of a population of about 50 thousand. I was there for 3 years and would have stayed if I hadn't got so frustrated. Our salon was very outdated , in the back of the store, so most customers didn't even know we had a salon. Because of this , it was almost impossible for a stylist without a clientele to make a living, so turnover was rampant. The salon division encouraged us salon managers to hire Master Stylist with a clientele book. This proved to be very unrealistic. The Master Stylist who were already established at other cute, hip salons did not see the benefit of uprooting their current clientele for a salon located inside a Big Box store, near the bathrooms, in a tired and outdated salon.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
