Pros

There aren’t anymore. The pros were the franchisees and staff I worked with but they have all gone now.

Cons

headmasters, many years ago used to be a lovely place to work. However since covid they have become money grabbing, don’t look after staff at all, and close salons left right and centre when they are still struggling post covid. They even take franchises away without sticking to their own terms of agreements to help said franchises. The company don’t care about you, all they care about it targets targets targets and selling products. It’s completely lost it’s friendly welcoming vibe. Staff are miserable, over worked and massively underpaid. You’ll get just over minimum wage and be expected to work the worst hours and told that commission will bump you up. However to actually hit commission with there constant sales and discounts it’s near on impossible to do so

Pros

2 days of training; 1 in salon, 1 in Richmond, Richmond training is hosted by a 3rd party (Learning Curve) who are passionate and invested in training. The travel was paid for I do not know if it still is. The in salon training supplied a consistent clientel for apprentices to practice on which was supervised.

Cons

Supervision during the in salon training was inconsistent especially when there are 6-7 apprentices practicsing meaning sometimes there was no supervision. The management would choose favourites among staff often comparing them to eachother in a negative format encougaging a toxic work enviroment. Whenever problems arose between apprentices they were deemed as "drama" and instead of being dealt with individually would target all the apprentices lowering team moral. Managment would choose favourites and give more training and attention to said favourites while either ignoring or being outright hostile to others, Because they were unable to fire apprentices due to having too many prevouse apprentices quitting they would instead bully apprentices out of their job. To put it bluntly it felt like a prom queen leading her flock in a professional environment.
