Pros

Tips are good sometimes Employee discount on products

Cons

Working every weekend Working Sundays Working holidays Only 3 request off days A YEAR Working 8+ days in a row Working multiple 9 hours days in row Traveling to different stores and low mileage pay No life outside of work Working late (most stores don’t close until 9PM!!) Having to cut 20+ haircuts in a day without a break(or a chance to sit down and rest your feet) Dress code says no athletic shoes(unless they are “polish-able”) Lunch breaks are only 30 minutes long (unpaid) Most of the time having to do all the cleaning because no one else will.
