Pros

Good client base coming out of school. Guaranteed base pay. Get to have tons of people to hone your craft.

Cons

Part time status working full time hours. Depending on owner you get a low base pay that needs to be higher due to high cost of school and licensing. Long hour shifts and open Sundays.
