Easy job with some scary solo shifts

Assistant store manager

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Easy job Discount Free samples(sometimes) Don’t have to deal with the public because it is only licensed professionals

Cons

You work alone for a few outs Also if you are scheduled Sundays you work alone. Some people come in and steal and it’s scary if you don’t know how to handle the situation. Especially if you are alone Even though you don’t have to deal with the public you do at the same time because some people come in and try to shop even though they don’t have a license.

Pros

Great atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. Most of my co-workers were either former hair stylists or cosmetology students, so they were always willing to teach me about the products.

Cons

Low pay but it's also an entry level position.
