Pros

Good pay. High number of returning clients, so it’s not hard to build up clientele. Fun atmosphere.

Cons

Overall, the company itself isn’t bad. However, they are extremely pushy on sales. After working full time for nearly 6 months and having good sales & client numbers, I had 2 consecutive bad weeks and was bumped down to part time. Even though the store was already understaffed, they still forced me to cut my hours because I wasn’t selling enough product. Other than that, the management at my store was horrendous. It left the rest of the employees at my location with low morale and motivation. With the managers calling off at least once a week, changing their own numbers and hours in the computer, stealing from the drawer, and having scandalous relations with other people within the company, it just became too much. The same month that I left, several other girls followed suit. If you can get into a good location with good management, I highly recommend it. I loved this job, the location, the clientele, and the business brand, but my personal experience with my managers were too much to handle.

Pros

Pay, schedule flexibility, growth opportunities, company events, benefits

Cons

The pay is excellent as long as you’re performance is strong and especially if your flexible with your schedule and full time. But if you’re not a good performer or super part time, this might not be the best place for you.

Pros

Flexible schedule and decent pay.

Cons

Team leader claimed to care about his team, but only cared about a few! Team leader cared more about employees, causing problems than the employees doing their job! Team leader got teary-eyed when an employee needed to be let go for being aggressive with another stylist! Team leader refused to pay out vacation time to an employee who quit, stating that it wasn’t policy and had never done before, employee who quit showed proof that it had been done before and team leader still refused to pay out vacation. Very few policy and procedures are followed per Sport Clips handbook, 100% would not recommend working for Sport Clips, especially at this location. Well hourly pay is decent, bonus on any level is nearly impossible, especially as a manager! As a stylist, you have to hit all three metrics to bonus at all, and as a manager, you yourself have to hit all the metrics, and you have to have at least one stylist who hits their metrics as well.
