Pros

Men tip a lot better than women.

Cons

Unfortuantely, credit card tips will appear on your check, which means their getting taxed, WAY too many kids (this is not kid snips), the 5 point play (not really the best way to make sales), customers with HORRIBLE attitidues and management who allows irradic behavior from customers, feeling like you're working on an assembly line, hardly any breaks, having to use wahl clippers (possibly the worst brand ever), parents who micromanage the professional (because they apparently went to cosmetology school and know so much), doing an mvp or triple play in 20 mins (seriously, a haircut, shampoo and a back and shoulder massage in 20 mins?? this is why the haircuts turn out pretty horrible). Can't really be expressive with your craft. Oh and the pay is horrible!

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

Great hourly pay with tips. Averaged about $38 to $40 an hour. Great starting place. They do offer training. The co-workers were nice at my location. Management does help you with flexible scheduling so if you have children, it works out great.

Cons

Burnout is real. Expected to complete service within an allotted short time. Too many clients come in that want expensive barbershop cuts but want to pay the lowest price (they really shouldn’t even go to sport clips for). Also, way too many clients with long hair wanting full scissor cuts. They won’t turn away clients even if the cuts they ask for are — are not something sport clips does or allows for a lot of time. TV’s get annoying after a while (too loud).
