Pros
The job is easy and fun. Time goes by quickly when you are in a service and the color experts are diverse and get along very well. Tips help boost your income, especially in the summer time. My best recommendation is to be part time in the summer and freelance in the winter.
Cons
The first words that were said to me when I started was, "Run Away." I now understand what they mean as management is not stable and the color experts have to deal with the results of management never being there and lazy leads. There will be surprise parties (large groups of people) that were never on the schedule. Coworkers seem miserable and many are planning to leave due to the overall negative energy between the staff and the management. The turnaround is also quick, as I witnessed 5 people leaving (which is 1/4th of the team) in less than 3 months. The pay is inconsistent due to tips and how much you made in tips is never shared- as the total tips are split between who worked the most hours during the two week period which will always be the leads. You're not allowed to have cash tips either.
