      Pros

      fast pace, only does hair cuts and occasionally perms so more customers come in and out making it so you get more tip money. Their are lots of opportunity to move up in the company to eventually even corporate. you also make hourly plus commision plus your tips. and if you are looking for part time they usually are very flexible

      Cons

      you only make 8.25 hourly so if you don't make much commision and you are in a slower location you aren't making as much money. lots of people quit and get fired so it makes it hard to have consistency and get your shift covered. in my specific syracuse location there was a bit of drama with in the employees and we are always short staffed and you pretty much always stay past your shift and sometimes dont get a lunch.

      We are sorry you had this experience while working in the salon. Because each salon is independently owned and operated, franchisees may use a number of different factors to determine stylist's total compensation. If you would like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location & details. We will forward it to the franchisee for you. If you prefer to be anonymous, please let us know and we will accommodate your request. Thank you.

      Flexible schedules, 401k, health, & dental benefits, bonuses (based on salon performance, base wage with poetional to hit commission on service & product sales, fun friendly & welcoming environment for employees/customers, continuing education for growth in the industry, professional career growth with Great Clips (depending upon your franchise)

      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.
