Pros

Good variety of clients (men, women, children, old, young, etc.) If you want to focus on cuts and not color, this is one of the only chains that doesn't do color decent tips

Cons

Not much upward mobility regulars are discouraged quantity over quality of cuts emphasized you'll only be given 6 hours shifts during the week you'll get a half hour unpaid break, but if it's busy, expect to take it 5 minutes at a time
