Pros

Pays better than the other corporate cutting factories

Cons

Understaffed. So many locations but not enough stylists to run them so you will be used and abused. The uniforms are unattractive but effective for stifling your individuality. They advertise sign on bonus but the franchise owners are all different and mine was advertised but never spoke on with a definite answer as to when I would receive it or if it's offered at all. Sports. 24/7 doesn't excite a stylist or at least the majority This company was founded by a man, for men and with everything centered on everything but the stylists running it They discriminate against applicants with colored hair (bright fashion colors) and require you to have a natural color to be an employee. Tattoos and piercings as well. This means they are not modern or forward thinking so beware.

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.
