Pros

Clients, flexible schedule, decent pay, fast paced, co-workers

Cons

it's a sales job, the focus is on your ability to sell products and services, and to do as many haircuts as fast as you can. The continual badgering about numbers has ruined the good parts of the job. They want you to come to work even when you are sick as a dog. You get your co-workers sick and your clients. If you have to miss for any reason you don't get any commissions for that pay period.

Thank you for your input and time at Sport Clips. I am sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience. Have you discussed your concerns with your manager, store owner or coach? It might be helpful to clear up any misunderstandings or at least be heard. You did not provide a location, so I am unable to share your feedback directly. Feel free to connect offline at contact.us@sportclips.com. As a company (Franchisor/Corporation) we do provide guidelines to ensure consistency and set each team member up for success. I think the message can get diluted as it is communicated, and resulting in a team member feeling undervalued, like just a number, etc. Sport Clips standards goals and values can be seen throughout the company in our support center, in our stores and in our communities. It saddens me to see that this is not your experience.

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

No pros beside it being a paycheck

Cons

Wasn’t allowed to have colored hair as a stylist, franchise owners in Arizona push their conservative beliefs on employees, didn’t even allow facial piercings, as time goes by and I’m working at an amazing salon and being treated for what I’m worth, being valued and paid an actual living wage, being allowed to express my individuality, being able to finally find somewhere where I’ve been able to blossom in my 8 years of hairdressing, I’m realizing just how awfully sport clips treats their employees, absolute joke of a wage for the productivity, work, and hours they expect, started here fresh out of beauty school and was constantly undermined, a lot of workplace bullying, favoritism, outcasting stylists that didn’t fit the perfect Sportclips “ideal.” Unless you want to be a slave to Sportclips, and constantly told cut faster cut faster sell more sell more and creating an uncomfortable experience for the stylist and client, making it feel like a sales job, it’s such an outdated way to operate, to hit numbers for the commission you’d have to sell like a car seller and do 10-15 minute haircuts for hours on end. don’t work here. Not to mention the average tip clients leave is 5-7 while you get a minimum wage hourly. Just a spit in the face.
