Pros

Clients are treat you well

Cons

As if we don’t makes this company thousands of dollars and our pay checks aren’t enough to live off of, you have the audacity to steal (unauthorized) out of our pay checks money to fund “voluntary miscellaneous” items such as back bar. On top of that, we are bullied to sell products and provide rushed haircuts. Don’t waste your time or talent working here unless your just that desperate. There is NO job security here, no benefits and low hours. The only key questions they care about and are committed to is saving money. You are disposable!

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).

Sport Clips Response
