Pros

Willing to work with your schedule

Cons

Crap pay , no way to make more or incentives, no actual benefits (offer Aflac). Tips are not paid out daily and added to your check. Turnover is ridiculous and they should really do background checks on the employees or at least management!

Since each salon is independently owned and operated, your franchisee would be the best person to address your concerns. Please contact them directly regarding any issues with employment.

Pros

Depending on your franchise you can level up in pay and make a lot of money , as long as you have good customer service you get great tips, product incentives, productivity incentives, holiday pay!

Cons

Depending on the owner and franchisee you will get great pay or absolutely horrible pay, some Greatclips you will get your credit card tips the same day. Other Greatclips add it to your check (which is absolutely ridiculous)! Some managers only car for themselves.
