      Recession-proof, yet not a "career" - Stylist Sport Clips Employee Review

      Pros

      You are protected against things that may go on in a privately-owned salon. Cuts only- no color, highlighting, perms, etc. (Like a barbershop) Hourly pay- even if you are not busy, you still get paid. Easy to get a job here.

      Cons

      Training all-together (technical, company, etc.) lacks a bit. Commission is difficult to achieve, feel like numbers are pushed to benefit owner instead of stylist. BLACK-OUT PERIODS!! Stylists are not allowed to take time off during "black-out" periods ex: the week before and after Christmas, New Years, Easter etc. Clearly not a company that values stylists' ability to spend time with their families. Benefits are offered, but impossible to afford.

      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).
