      Best career choice I could have made

      Pros

      Flexible hours Benefits Hourly pay plus bonuses Room for growth Free training/education Great management staff My franchisee and his staff are wonderful. I have had room to move up in the company here where I have not in other salons. I have worked in many salons over the course of my career and Great Clips is where I intend to stay for the remainder of it. I couldn't ask for a better place to work.

      Cons

      No set schedule High turnover in some stores Some stores understaffed Some stores unorganized (Great Clips is a franchise so some stores aren't run as well as others)

      Works if you're desperate and have no bills

      Pros

      Depending on location, you can be steady or busy all day. You don't need clientele, walk in only. The salon provides combs & products.

      Cons

      Being hired on full time means you can't have a life outside of work. Completely random schedule every week. If someone calls off they will expect you to pick up their shift no questions asked, if you don't they will make you feel guilty. Depending on the area you work in, you have to deal with some pretty gross clients (ones who don't know how to wash behind their ears.) You will be scheduled at other salons and not get any floating wage, sometimes an hour or more from where you live.

      We are sorry that this was your experience. Because each salon is independently owned and operated, the best person to address your concerns would be the franchisee. If you would like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you were employed and details. We will provide it to the franchisee for follow up with you. Thank you.

      Pros

      The store great clips is always busy and I am always making money. Management is very nice but it varies from location to location.

      Cons

      The store great clips is always busy so it makes for longer shifts that are hard to find coverage for it you need a day off. But it varies from location to location.
