Pros

Tips... And that's about it. Oh, and some coworkers. Otherwise there aren't any. At all. Whatsoever.

Cons

Where do I start? The wages suck. The franchisee is a cheapskate and takes form the employees. This franchise is a joke. 12 minutes to cut hair. No raises. Bust your buns daily and it gets very old and very tiring. Managers get fancy trips while us hardworking "lowlife workers" are the reason they got there! Never again...
