Pros

Pros: Fast paced, men’s cuts only, so quick and simple, laid back clientele, comfortable dress code

Cons

Cons: Your tips on card payments do not leave the register, so they get taxed. And at least at this location every single customer pays with a card. So much is taken out on my paycheck it really feels like I’m working for no tips. Each haircut you take has like a 1,0000 step list of each specific thing you need to remember and do EXACTLY how you were shown. I really wouldn’t mind all of that if I was actually getting the great tips the company bragged about which led to me applying. Made me buy expensive new clippers Stylists are required to pay for the products we are required to use on customers. Stylists are responsible for any state board fines the store gets (is this legal..?) was told the stylists in the store split the cost if there is ever a fine. Very rude management. A common response from management when asking for help is an eye roll or condescending chuckle. Mandatory unpaid work events. Unprofessional environment, management gossiping in front of clientele etc Lots of late closing shifts followed by opening shifts barely 12 hours later. No commission. There is ‘incentive’ for when you hit certain numbers in every category (retail sales, impossible haircut times, AND up selling numbers) all need to reach unrealistic quotas to make any incentive, I was even told my a coworker oh my first day that they’re practically impossible to actually reach

I appreciate your feedback and am sorry to hear about your experience. Have you spoken to your store owner about your concerns? I know they would want the opportunity to address them. Each store owner does provide their own compensation plan and make there own schedule. Feel free to reach out to me at contact.us@sportclips.com.

Pros

Somewhat willing to work with stylist's availability.

Cons

No set schedule, lack of professionalism, willing to hire anyone who walks in the door. Poor haircut quality (for the most part), horrible pay. False promises upon hire. Poor payment practices and unwillingness to correct mistakes. Stylists aren't allowed to use the tools they prefer. Dead-end job with no real benefits.

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy. Have you had a conversation with your franchisee? We supply each store with guards, so team member's do not have to supply their own. That is the reason we ask team members use a specific tool. This is great feedback and I am happy to connect offline to work through the rest. You can reach me at contact.us@sportclips.com.

Poor Upper Management

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly clients , friendly co workers , sports environment

Cons

Low pay rates , hard to hit commission unless your at a busy store , and you will have to be best friends with upper management to advance with the company. No cutting training for new stylist , no receptionist, and no uniform reimbursement no matter how many times it’s changed .

Thank you for your review. It disappoints me to hear about your experience. I apologize for you not receiving the training and experience you should have received. It also, sounds like Sport Clips values and standards were not being followed. I will let the appropriate person know about this. Again, my apologies! This is not typical and I ask that you give another location a try. You should receive training throughout your career at Sport Clips so you are set up for success!
