Pros

Tips are okay but I do not expect them. Different type of customer every time.

Cons

Lack of progressing through the levels aka. chances of becoming a assistant manager. Lack of team work by ALL employees. 15 mins for the perfect haircut? I don't think so, especially when I am being timed for each haircut and being criticized that it took me extra 5 minutes. I do understand that haircuts should not take forever to finish the perfect look. No mats for the stylist's feet since we do have to stand all day long, without these mats they do hinder ability to go faster and faster as my location I worked at ran the business. Also the product pushing. . . It seemed they wanted you to sell the entire stock and then some otherwise you are criticized to the maximum for not doing your job, even if you have never had any complaints and you pretty much make sure everybody is ready for the day consistently i.e. the towels,stations, etc.

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.
