I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Great Clips (Saint Joseph, MO)
Interview
Went in for the 1st interview, ended up being with the owner's (married couple) for a short, to the point type, to get a feel of myself and of the owner's.
During this short time they asked about myself, why I think I would be the best fit for the management position, etc.
I then seen a wonderful side to the owner's when the salon was closing and they asked to stop for a moment so they could speak with an employee that had an injury they were inquiring about. The owner's asked her if she had been back to the Dr. and where sincerely concerned about her well being.. I was very impressed. Not to mention the whole time the husband was sincere, caring, and I could tell he appreciated the business just as much as his wife. That really impressed me.
My 2nd interview was just as sincere, informative, and impressive.
This company is GREAT all around. They look after their employees, they provide FREE education, and CARE...

Thank you for your honest and candid feedback. Welcome to a GREAT community of stylists!

Interview
The hiring manager said in the interview that “people just don’t want to work these days” referring to a struggle to keep staff on board. This was a red flag to me, so I asked questions and dug deeper only to find many internal operations issues that might cause people to just not want to work for them due to perpetuation of toxic work environments and exploitative practices. I did not accept the position offered.

I was very impressed that you asked why we received so many negative reviews online. Do you have any concerns about that?

I felt welcome and we talked about opportunities and job description. We also talked about the expectations and compensation. My past experience was something useful in this interview. I like how attentive they we're to this process.
