Pros

Guaranteed hourly wage as opposed to commission like most salons

Cons

If you are serious about being in the hair industry I would avoid this job. They teach you how to badly cut hair in a very short amount of time. Actually the faster you cut hair and burn and turn clients the more money you make. Great for you, but terrible for the client.
