Sport Clips where it's great to be a stylist! But not so great managers/team leaders! - Anonymous employee Sport Clips Employee Review

Pros

It's nice to be in comfy uniforms,(u MUST wear tennis shoes!), not having to figure out "what am I going to wear today?" Since all stores are franchises, different owners have different commission/bonus outlines. If you hit your numbers, you can make great money. Tips are awesome. The stores are clean (they have central vacuums) and the structure of the company is what makes Sport Clips stand out, than the other salons. U have to follow a "script" to your clients. It's not for everyone, but when it's done, u gain a client, and make more money. Room for advancement.

Cons

Turnover, due to either poor management or owner's (a.k.a. team leaders.) We have a reputation and unfortunately as much as this company seems to "care about you" even if you "do your best" they can get rid of you without warning. U must have good numbers, since this is a "number" business. This company has lost some pretty good employees due to poor management and/or team leaders. U must work weekends and nights. No benefits except management.

Pros

Great hourly pay with tips. Averaged about $38 to $40 an hour. Great starting place. They do offer training. The co-workers were nice at my location. Management does help you with flexible scheduling so if you have children, it works out great.

Cons

Burnout is real. Expected to complete service within an allotted short time. Too many clients come in that want expensive barbershop cuts but want to pay the lowest price (they really shouldn’t even go to sport clips for). Also, way too many clients with long hair wanting full scissor cuts. They won’t turn away clients even if the cuts they ask for are — are not something sport clips does or allows for a lot of time. TV’s get annoying after a while (too loud).
