Pros

You dont have to fight over customers because you are on a hourly pay not commission based. This is also good because your paychecks are consistent.

Cons

You work very hard and are expected to do haircuts in an averaged out rate of less than 18 minutes including both womens and mens haircuts. so lots of people do shortcuts on haircuts and skimp on quality sometimes.

Very Conservative Culture

Pros

Great Clips had good benefits at the corporate level, including free haircuts. There were about 100 corporate employees at HQ, and it was easy to communicate with different departments. It's a successful company, and they know what works as far as providing good support for franchisees.

Cons

Great Clips had a very conservative culture, driven by senior management. There wasn't much tolerance for alternative viewpoints. In certain departments, the organization is pretty flat, so there wasn't opportunity for advancement.
