Pluspunten

-Great as a first job in this field -Clients are guaranteed to a degree -Occasional training opportunities -Teaches new stylists skills they might not’ve been taught in school -Tips -Some benefits -PTO after 1 year -GC does not allow only one stylist to be on the floor, so unless management violates that policy, you will not be working alone

Minpunten

-Poor base pay (typically minimum wage or slightly higher) -Days are unpredictable, meaning you could have one day that’s extremely busy, then the next with only a few people the whole shift -Understaffed -You will be required to go to other salons to help if they happen to be understaffed -Management gets priority for days off -Roughly 1/3 of the year is unavailable for time off of any kind due to extensive “blackout days/periods” (can be anywhere from a single day to over a month, and last year’s blackout dates totaled up to about 130 days) -The price of the cuts are low, typically meaning tips will be lower, e.i. $2 tip on a $20 cut -You cannot guarantee you will build a clientele due to GC’s business model, nor does GC’s business model and plan support it -Expect long hours, sometimes 11 or more, without a break (per your state’s law) -Potentially multiple open to close shifts per week
