Pros

I liked my customers and most of the employees (when they weren't back-stabbing.

Cons

Always wanted you to work every weekend, they talk you out of vacations and want you to take them day to day. Hair cuts are timed and you are written up if it exceeds - even a couple of minutes.. They want you to push sales of product big time mentioning at least three times while you are with a client that says no... Vacation pay will not be paid to employees no longer working either - I was screwed big time after being talked out of going on vacation until 'next month'.
