Pros

Great chain & procedures, awesome environment.

Cons

Terrible schedules, poor management, micro-managing owner that behaves inappropriately, is rude and hires based on appearance. Not enough wage or benefits- Better than many comparable salons, but not enough for decent income. Terrible bonus system.

Thank you for your review and your time with Sport Clips. I don't like hearing that had a negative experience. I will send your feedback to the appropriate person for review. Please keep in mind that we have many locations and there might be another store in your area. Most stores are owned by different franchisees, so the store dynamics will be different, and benefits/pay can vary. I highly encourage anyone looking for a career opportunity, with any brand, to visit the location and ask questions about benefits and who you will work with. It is important that you know what to expect and are able to work with your team.

Pros

Health Insurance and 401k definitely help. A lot of hairdressers are moms and some of them single moms, so these benefits help a lot! My team leader and area manager are amazing at helping and keeping me feeling good about how I'm doing.

Cons

none, I have to say, if you're willing to work and make something of yourself and want to work for a great company that will recognize that. This is the place to be!

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).
