Pros

I have worked at a few franchises over the years and this one definitely pays the best. The girls at the location I'm at are awesome, I have heard that some locations are catty- I haven't seen it yet and I worked at another couple locations previously too. If you aren't confident in your technique they will send you to classes. The definitely notice and promote those who work hard. Pay is good. Goals are realistic. Upper management listens to everyone's input. Comfy pants and shoes are part of the uniform.

Cons

I am realistic because I say I have worked at a few places and I know what crappy managers can do to a staff. With that being said you are at the mercy of the manager. If they are bad- the morale of the team will be low and it will suck. You are urged to finish in 25 minutes- and sometimes you just need more time... of course they want you to sell products but that is anywhere. The uniform is comfy but cheesy.

Pros

Health Insurance and 401k definitely help. A lot of hairdressers are moms and some of them single moms, so these benefits help a lot! My team leader and area manager are amazing at helping and keeping me feeling good about how I'm doing.

Cons

none, I have to say, if you're willing to work and make something of yourself and want to work for a great company that will recognize that. This is the place to be!

Pros

No pros beside it being a paycheck

Cons

Wasn’t allowed to have colored hair as a stylist, franchise owners in Arizona push their conservative beliefs on employees, didn’t even allow facial piercings, as time goes by and I’m working at an amazing salon and being treated for what I’m worth, being valued and paid an actual living wage, being allowed to express my individuality, being able to finally find somewhere where I’ve been able to blossom in my 8 years of hairdressing, I’m realizing just how awfully sport clips treats their employees, absolute joke of a wage for the productivity, work, and hours they expect, started here fresh out of beauty school and was constantly undermined, a lot of workplace bullying, favoritism, outcasting stylists that didn’t fit the perfect Sportclips “ideal.” Unless you want to be a slave to Sportclips, and constantly told cut faster cut faster sell more sell more and creating an uncomfortable experience for the stylist and client, making it feel like a sales job, it’s such an outdated way to operate, to hit numbers for the commission you’d have to sell like a car seller and do 10-15 minute haircuts for hours on end. don’t work here. Not to mention the average tip clients leave is 5-7 while you get a minimum wage hourly. Just a spit in the face.
