Pros

You'll definitely be busy within this field. Great Clips is a well known name so you will be able to find yourself cutting a lot of hair.

Cons

Pay is below minimum wage, tips are appreciate not expected within the workplace. You're lucky to get 5 dollars, but as I stated definitely will have a lot of turnover rate so the one customer that doesn't tip you, the next might give you a nifty 10er.

Pros

Fast paced, ongoing education, caring community, more tips as you’re taking more clients

Cons

Don’t do color, tend to pay a little less (but you make it up in tips)

Pros

Great opportunity to make money and help people feel good

Cons

Was fired on the spot without any investigation. Video and audio can prove I was professional and following great clips standards. Was also assaulted by fellow employee while manager watched. So sad to be treated this way. Btw my numbers and customer service was better than most my fellow employees at this location. Also was not paid for time properly
