Pros

Sport Clips as a company is awesome. I feel they have great morals, and you definitely can go far in the company as well. They have great classes. I like the fact they offer the mvp experience. Its a great way to bring loyal clients back.

Cons

The owner who owns the Sport Clips I work at, is going to drive it into the ground. She doesn't listen to the manager, let alone the stylists. She thinks stylist are stupid because we do hair. Which is an oxymoron because she owns a salon. She wants us to hold some stupid sign out to help get clients in the door, when really it does NOT help. Word of mouth does that. The store has needed products that we have sold out of for months. We are down to our last gallon of shampoo, and nothing has been done. Let alone all the free hair cut coupons. I am sick of giving my services away for free. To make matters worst, even sending an email about how awful the management in the store is, to a sport clips corporate educator has done nothing to help improve the morale of the store. The assistant manager, who should have been the actual store manager, quit because nothing had changed with the store manager. The store manager leaves whenever she wants, even shopping on company time, will only stay for an hour before leaving to go back home. 2 main girls call off all the time and never get into trouble. But if I show up 10 til the time I am supposed to be there, late at all (when I have Adhd, a brain/mental disorder which causes lateness or time blindness) I get into trouble and get yelled at. I am so sick of the favoritism. I come in, do my job. Treat everyone kindly. She treats one of the new girls as if she didn't know what she was doing, even going as far as to embarrassing her in front of clients, which is highly unprofessional. If i were a client i wouldn't go back to that establishment. I seriously hate going to work because of this, and I am looking for a new job. I hope corporate reads this. You need to reevaluate who owns your salons and who is management. People leave bad managers. and you have a horrible manager.

Pros

Pays better than the other corporate cutting factories

Cons

Understaffed. So many locations but not enough stylists to run them so you will be used and abused. The uniforms are unattractive but effective for stifling your individuality. They advertise sign on bonus but the franchise owners are all different and mine was advertised but never spoke on with a definite answer as to when I would receive it or if it's offered at all. Sports. 24/7 doesn't excite a stylist or at least the majority This company was founded by a man, for men and with everything centered on everything but the stylists running it They discriminate against applicants with colored hair (bright fashion colors) and require you to have a natural color to be an employee. Tattoos and piercings as well. This means they are not modern or forward thinking so beware.

Pros

Very modern clean professional , salon. Very nice equipment, chairs, massage chairs, flat screen T.v. Shampoo bowls r new updated kind where stylist stands behind customer, not hunched over the side of them w your breast in their face like old shampoo bowls. Owner HAS to update , refurnish redorcorate salon EVERY 4 years . Great comfortable uniforms ( track suits, polos, gym shoes )

Cons

Too many rules for stylists. Very strict assembly-line style of cutting called 5 pt play. Has about 40 steps to it , per client. Only have 15 minutes Total , for reg. haircut( Varsity) . This is from the second u call clients name , till they fumble to find coupon, ask to go to bathroom,before paying, or talking on their cell, while holding their finger up. 20 minutes allowed for MvP cut ( shampoo, hot towel, cut, chair massage ) again, every second counts. Only get hours if you can cut hair robotically, in 14 min doing MVP !
