      Cash Tips Are Great - Stylist Great Clips Employee Review

      Pros

      Great place to work if you want minimal raises, awful managers and franchise owners, and a hostile working environment. Discrimination and favoritism daily. Will work you 39.5 hours so that you are not eligible for benefits. If they don’t like you will cut your hours to 2 shifts a week so that you quit and they don’t have to pay unemployment. “Base” pay is a joke and is not dependent on experience but how much your manager likes you.

      Cons

      Constant fine motor movement will destroy rotator cuff, neck, and hands. Carpal Tunnel is a given and you won’t get company benefits. The $6.99 Haircut Sale is awful. The only thing “good” about this job is the cash tips.

      We are sorry you had these experiences. Since each location is locally owned and operated, your concerns would be best addressed by the franchisee who employed you. If you'd like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you were employed. We can then provide your feedback to the franchisee of the salon. Thank you.

      Cons

      Haircutting exclusive so if you enjoy other services in the industry (chemicals, waxing, updo styling) this is not the place Franchised salons, so salons are ran differently.
