Pros

Most of the corporate leadership is approachable and genuinely caring The company values are more than just words Small, privately held company, so lots of opportunities to wear different hats All corporate employees are eligible for the company incentive plan Fiscally conservative approach has kept the organization on a steady (but slow) upward trajectory

Cons

Small organization means plenty of work to develop and grow your professional skills, but few true opportunities for advancement Lots of work and high expectations with lean teams Health insurance benefits are only so-so

Haircutting exclusive so if you enjoy other services in the industry (chemicals, waxing, updo styling) this is not the place Franchised salons, so salons are ran differently.
