Vantaggi
- Some gained knowledge of hair care - Experience in customer service (because clients are constantly mad with you) - Experience managing (even though you aren't necessarily a manager, you're going to have to manage a group of stylists) - Experience in conflict resolution (as I mentioned before clients are constantly angry with you)
Svantaggi
- BUTTERCUPS. A buttercup is a fake stylist. When the shop is either understaffed, not meeting the quota, or just when corporate wants to make more money, the company will open up a fake stylist in order to book more appointments in order to make more money. This causes us to constantly run behind because we constantly overbook. This means that because you're the receptionist you will get blamed for this and receive constant abuse from the clients unable to tell them that the reason their appointment is an hour behind is corporate doesn't care about the client, corporate cares about the money. - No breaks. As a bartender, you don't get any breaks because you're usually the only bartender working that day and someone needs to man the front desk. - No raises, no promotions (without you having to apply for it), no bonuses, no sick leave, no vacation days (you're also expected to always find coverage when you take a vacation) - Everyone working there hates their job (not that I blame them, but morale is shot) I could go on but I'm still working there and I want to write another review when I finally get out.
