      Pros

      Clean environment, decent pay when you factor in tips.

      Cons

      Expectations were unreasonable. All about being fast so they can maximize their profits. They originally tell you approximately 2.5 haircuts (average) needed per hour but the really they want 5 haircuts per hour. Basically the company does not ever recognize certain things are out of the employee's control such as talkative or picky customers.
