Pros

I learned a lot about hair coloring. I probably got as much experience as a professional colorist. Great workshops on products we carried with free samples. At one point I even got a free blow dryer as a gift from a workshop. Good employee discount too. They want you to try the products and trust me, I worked in the upper east side, these ladies want you to know your stuff. They eat out of the palm of your hand so you better be well educated int he products.

Cons

The quality of management was a joke. Most of the people they "promoted" to store managers were simply because they had been with the company long and needed to do something with them. Halloween is a NIGHTMARE! There is no organization. The company cared more about the money it made from their main store in Soho then the others. Also the security in stores was non existent. They want you to stay in payroll, meaning I would get stuck working an open close shift with 1 employee and have to fend off shoplifters by myself. What a joke. I am not risking my life to save your $30 shampoo!
