Pros

It was a fun, fast paced environment. The clients are the most enjoyable part of the job.

Cons

I was recently terminated from Sports Clips after requesting time off for Thanksgiving six weeks in advance, with full communication that I would be out of town with family. Despite this, I was still scheduled for shifts on days my manager knew I would be unavailable, creating a preventable and unnecessary situation. There were no prior warnings, write-ups, or documented performance concerns leading up to my termination. I believe this reflects a serious lack of leadership, fair scheduling practices, and respect for employee communication. A workplace should not punish staff for planning ahead or prioritizing family when notice is given well in advance. I sincerely hope this location reevaluates how it supports and schedules its team. It's no wonder why this location struggles to get and maintain staff. This post serves as a warning. Employees and clients alike deserve better.

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.
