<prompt> Human: My fiance is contemplating leaving her current salon with a pretty toxic environment due to the salon ownership. She does not rent a chair, so receives commission and as a result her income varies every two weeks.The new job is a team-based pay structure, which is hourly plus bonus based on overall performance. Youll usually see this in professional office environments, however salons have been discussing this more and more lately. Shes very exciting based on the atmosphere alone at the new salon, and the owner seems leaps and bounds better than this old place, but Im nervous for a few reasons: The new salon has been commission up until basically now. The owner is switching over to this new pay structure and admits he doesnt quite know how it will turn out. He thinks some of the senior stylists are unhappy with this. Shell be coming in right when the structure kicks in; Her income potential at her current salon seems better since shes commission. The hourly rate seems about equal to her average take home pay with tips right now, leaving open the potential of slightly higher take home pay as the hourly rate does not include tips. The talk of bonuses makes this appealing as well, but it seems like an unknown since the owner is new at this too. The owner tells her after a few months shell get an hourly pay raise.There are a lot of pros, such as being five minutes from home and being a much better environment, but my research into this new pay structure, not to mention the possible drama from senior stylists who dont like the structure, says that there are a lot of unknowns. My lack of confidence has rubbed off on her, and now shes getting cold feet despite her gut telling her to take the plunge.Can anyone provide some insight as to what kinds of things to be aware of with this kind of pay structure?  <response>: Id suggest finding a hairstylist sib and asking in there for peoples experience. But if shes unhappy, imo she should take the chance.
