Pros

Great chain & procedures, awesome environment.

Cons

Terrible schedules, poor management, micro-managing owner that behaves inappropriately, is rude and hires based on appearance. Not enough wage or benefits- Better than many comparable salons, but not enough for decent income. Terrible bonus system.

Thank you for your review and your time with Sport Clips. I don't like hearing that had a negative experience. I will send your feedback to the appropriate person for review. Please keep in mind that we have many locations and there might be another store in your area. Most stores are owned by different franchisees, so the store dynamics will be different, and benefits/pay can vary. I highly encourage anyone looking for a career opportunity, with any brand, to visit the location and ask questions about benefits and who you will work with. It is important that you know what to expect and are able to work with your team.

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more and creating an uncomfortable experience for the stylist and client, making it feel like a sales job, it’s such an outdated way to operate, to hit numbers for the commission you’d have to sell like a car seller and do 10-15 minute haircuts for hours on end.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.
