Pros

You get alot of experience with detailed men and boys haircuts. Sports are always on tv. There is opportunity for growth in becoming a manager

Cons

They just don't listen to there employees. Poor management . Owners putting so much into the company ... Coupons.... Marketing, not willing to keep store properly stocked... Paper towels, working dryer, equipment packs looking horrible due to not replacing towels that have been ruined and stained looking like rags. Lights that need fixing, shampoo bowls broken , ( 2 out of 4) I just hope your owner can really step back and look at the big picture.. Since the current manager which she looks at like a daughter ... Is running her business into the ground.

Pros

Great hourly pay with tips. Averaged about $38 to $40 an hour. Great starting place. They do offer training. The co-workers were nice at my location. Management does help you with flexible scheduling so if you have children, it works out great.

Cons

Burnout is real. Expected to complete service within an allotted short time. Too many clients come in that want expensive barbershop cuts but want to pay the lowest price (they really shouldn’t even go to sport clips for). Also, way too many clients with long hair wanting full scissor cuts. They won’t turn away clients even if the cuts they ask for are — are not something sport clips does or allows for a lot of time. TV’s get annoying after a while (too loud).
