No work life balance at all. They are always short staffed so if you are a full time employee you will be scheduled 6 days each week, with shifts as long as 12 hours regularly. Working that load you are still only get one lunch break, and are rushed through it. You also will be working every Saturday and Sunday.
No health insurance.
They hire any warm body and keep them, whether they can cut hair or not. Then you ended having to fix other people’s haircuts on unhappy customers, causing you to miss out on tips.
They let some people get away with anything and everything, and pay those people the same as the employees that follow the rules and work hard.
No pay raises higher than 25 cents.
If you’re full time it is common to work 8 days or more in a row without 1 day off.
All of this to make the same amount of money or less than a cashier at a grocery store is not worth it, especially considering I paid 20k for cosmetology school to become a licensed professional.
