Pros

Pays better than the other corporate cutting factories

Cons

Understaffed. So many locations but not enough stylists to run them so you will be used and abused. The uniforms are unattractive but effective for stifling your individuality. They advertise sign on bonus but the franchise owners are all different and mine was advertised but never spoke on with a definite answer as to when I would receive it or if it's offered at all. Sports. 24/7 doesn't excite a stylist or at least the majority This company was founded by a man, for men and with everything centered on everything but the stylists running it They discriminate against applicants with colored hair (bright fashion colors) and require you to have a natural color to be an employee. Tattoos and piercings as well. This means they are not modern or forward thinking so beware.

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

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).
