Pros

The only pro I can give is that you get a employee discount on products.

Cons

It’s a chop shop don’t do it! Great Clips as a whole is a horrible corporation. They only care about one thing and one thing only-how many haircuts you can do in an hour. It doesn’t matter if you have hair down to your a#$ that hasn’t been combed or washed in a year I have to cut your hair in 15 mins or I’m docked.

Since each salon is independently owned and operated, your franchisee would be the best person to address your concerns. Please contact them directly regarding any issues with employment.
