Pros

Nice clients, nice salon, nice area of salon location, busy salon, very clean salon due to the hairdressers doing a good job.

Cons

Sport Clips is a 'sweat shop' for hairdressers. When you do 2 hair cuts an hour at $15.00 each that's $30.00. I made $9.25 an hour. Sport Clips made $20.00+. All hairdressers were clocked out at closing time. The people that show up before before closing got their haircuts done when I was off the clock so I did these hair cuts for free. Then the salon is cleaned and I did this for free too. When I showed my husband the out line for how I was paid. He said that it should not be so confusing to understand. My husband is highly educated and has an IQ of 160. Sport Clips brain washes it's stylists to think that if they are off the clock and still working that it's to their advantage to have less hours of being paid for your work. You make 10% of retail sales.....but only after you have sold $75.00. This is a GREEDY company to work for.

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.
