Best Company I have ever worked for

Pros

Great Clips is a fast paced hair salon, developed for an easy access for you to do what you love to do; hair. They have marketing ideas for you as well as market for you, and you don't have to build your own clientele. Lots of room to move forward and promotion opportunities at this company, you just have to show them the desire you have for it. Training? Lots of paid training opportunities as well as online courses to work on at home if you choose. I have been with this company for at least 10 years and I don't plan on ever leaving.

Cons

I really don't have any complaints...

Pros

Structure guidance and a contenuance throughout all salons the technology and follow up is good and the research that corporate is putting in for there franchisees

Cons

This structure does not fit every stylist and makes it difficult to hire stylist who are willing to do haircuts only. When you only hire stylidt out of school and management does not follow up with vutting guidance the whole salon will be put under the same umbrella of being a chop shop
