Pros

Great pay, amazing tips, laid back work environment, always busy because of trusted name. Most managers will work with you on scheduling. Free training that you get paid for. Health benefits, paid vacation, hourly plus two types of commission. You get out what you put in. Team environment..in most salons it's a very cut throat every man for himself type environment. At sport clips every one is willing to help and pitch in.

Cons

If you have visible piercings or tattoos, be prepared to take them out and cover them up. Only natural hair colors. Always have to have your hair and make up done. Very strict system that you must follow to keep your job. There is a certain way to greet the client, set up your station, certain way to cut the hair, and how to wash it. There is even a certain way you have to talk to the client. If you can't comply then you're out the door.

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).
