Pros

I can commend the presence of a client base you don't have to work hard on your own to create. If you are totally committed to the steps you can make profit for the business. If there is a solid galvanized team you can smoothly flow with the hectic pace.

Cons

Sometimes they tend to be rather unconcerned if you have a life issue. Example if you get sick, it's a problem. If your family member gets sick then it's not holding you back according to the strive for shift coverage. Also the staff that gets welcomed as new recruits get the "fake love", let things get old and super busy, after time you get treated worse than the girls in "The Help". The majority of new crew is unfortunately not fluent in team flow or structure, old cutters tend to lose balance and can get reprimanded for being overwhelmed, and stressed.
