Pros
If placed in the right salon, you might actually earn a decent wage, and if the manager likes you
Cons
Managers often aren’t even hairdressers, not even close,they might have been managing a retail store before with no understanding of hairdressing industry. Toxic inviroment is often and no one really cares about your problem with the salon, they don’t give you extra time for your clients, no Christmas bonus, you are not allowed to call in sick in December, and if you do you’re more than likely be treated really bad on your return, not flexible with holidays, sometimes they will even approve your holidays and they tell you you can’t go one month prior without caring of how you’re going to handle it, double standards between staff and they won’t fire you if they don’t want you there, they will rather make your life a living hell so you quit yourself. I could just go on and on about what I experienced there in my two years with that company.
