well big jeff....I totally feel your pain....and sympathize. I also work for Regis, in Iowa, and I hate it. I don't want to quit for personal reasons, but I've tried everything to get canned...lol The upper management thinks that clients should magically appear when its slow,or we should go have a knock down drag out in the mall to bring them in. Our salon went through a massive walk out just about a year and a half ago when all stylists left including the manager, leaving only me, 2 months out of school. I ran the salon by myself open to close, for 2 weeks. When I inquired about the management position and passed the test with flying colors, I was turned down. This is definitely not a lifelong position, by any stretch of the imagination, just some money to pay the bills.....Sadly, Regis has developed a serious bad taste in my mouth about the beauty industry, and I'm currently in school pursuing another career. Jeff, its the best thing that could have happened for you, as now you can really thrive and shine. Good luck to you, and Piss on Regis! lmao |
