Pros

You can make okay money

Cons

They like to burn out employees but hate giving them overtime pay, they focus on quantity instead of quality, management will guilt trip you to come to work when you are sick, there is no work life balance at all, they expect you to do a haircut in less than 15 minutes but if you get a bad review online they punish you, stressful and overstimulating work environment, management is unapproachable and contradictory of what they say or teach, they take away chairs to sit down in and expect workers to be standing all day, pay is okay but not good enough for the stress and hard work and the muscle aches I get after work. They let rude clients walk over the stylists and won’t give us the freedom to turn those people away, if you are fresh out of school they throw you on the floor without proper training and then punish you if you mess up, management will not take employees frustrations and feeling in consideration. Benefits are garbage.

Pros

Pay, schedule flexibility, growth opportunities, company events, benefits

Cons

The pay is excellent as long as you’re performance is strong and especially if your flexible with your schedule and full time. But if you’re not a good performer or super part time, this might not be the best place for you.

Pros

Flexible schedule and decent pay.

Cons

Team leader claimed to care about his team, but only cared about a few! Team leader cared more about employees, causing problems than the employees doing their job! Team leader got teary-eyed when an employee needed to be let go for being aggressive with another stylist! Team leader refused to pay out vacation time to an employee who quit, stating that it wasn’t policy and had never done before, employee who quit showed proof that it had been done before and team leader still refused to pay out vacation. Very few policy and procedures are followed per Sport Clips handbook, 100% would not recommend working for Sport Clips, especially at this location. Well hourly pay is decent, bonus on any level is nearly impossible, especially as a manager! As a stylist, you have to hit all three metrics to bonus at all, and as a manager, you yourself have to hit all the metrics, and you have to have at least one stylist who hits their metrics as well.
