Pros

-Depending on your franchiser, a few paid holidays. -You can accumulate PTO.

Cons

-Absentee franchisers -Employee turnover is ridiculously high, regardless of incentives and hourly pay. The beauty industry within itself is unfortunately just like that. -Long hours, not your typical 9-5 work week -Weekends are required depending on staffing. -Demographic for clientele is typically undesirable, and tips are not guaranteed, which can make or break if you can afford groceries for the week. -Company higher ups love to ask for better ways to make their employees happy, but when it's not your typical "Pizza Party" answer, they'll laugh in your face.

Because each salon is independently owned and operated, your franchisee would be the best person to address your concerns. Please contact them directly regarding any issues with employment.
