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).

Pros

After a year of you starting you get annual raises by the Lee/Hill franchise Perkspot is another great factor! they help you find deals like the employee discounts of name brands, companies that will find you discounts on cars or houses, discounts on apparel etc. One big way the company supports you is the Wayne McGlone Fund, a fund that provides you support during major life stresses such as illness and death of a family member as well as making up for lost wages They always have continuing education for both management and skills for our career Clientele in my area are super nice, a lot of blue collar workers and great tips along with that They are flexible with scheduling and fully understand if you have a family emergency, they also offer ways to make up the hours you might have missed when someone covered your shift The franchise I work with and my direct boss our Area Manager, really do care and support my goals to advance my career in the future They also really push you to have a good life balance, encouraging people to take vacation when we don't have high needs

Cons

Scheduling can fluctuate too much for some people but that's the industry that we decided to get into
