Pros

The store I worked at was owned by an awesome man who was focused on not only great customer service, but also on creating great compatable teams to work in the store. As a result it was not only a great work environment for the staff but also a peaceful environment for the customers. Customers noticed that there was no tension or agrivation from the staff. They felt like it was a place where they would be treated with respect and listed to. Retention was very high and turnover of the staff was very low.

Cons

Not all locations have the same standards (as far as management/employees go). Because this is a franchise it is up to the ower who they hire. All employees are required to go to continuing education so the quality of the work is overall equall in all Sport Clips, however, there are no class to teach personality. Management can be difficult to deal with in som instances and staff can sometimes be irritable.

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).
