Advice to Senior Management

Tell the owner to pay more and bring back the benefits that were taken away these past few years for example 401k.

Bad management, overworked, little pay. Owners treated us like work horses. We Weren't allowed breaks, some of the other employees would almost pass out due to not being allowed to take a lunch.

Advice to Senior Management

Standing for 8 hrs a day on a hard surface because your not allowed a mat isn't easy. Treat the employees with respect. If your employees are happy, then your customers are happy.

Pros

Clients Provided, Steady work, Team atmosphere.

Cons

Even with vacation hours, vacations are not allows allowed. Low pay, tops at $10/hr even after 4 years, policies and procedures are not upheld by franchisees unless they need them to be. No bonus', Rules and expectations constantly changing.

Advice to Senior Management

Better off as a stylist. Managers only make about $30 extra a week and you can make that up in tips. Not worth it.

Pros

The Best money you can make

Cons

Nights and weekends and working until 9 pm

Advice to Senior Management

Spend time in the salons before making changes that may not be best for our customers
