Pros

You get commission on products you sell. Always need receptionist because the turnover rate is so high.

Cons

My store only had 2 employees working as a receptionist so you work a lot of hours. Customers were all male and sometimes rude. Hardly ever tip. Your job includes: answer phone, check people in, handle cash register, clean all the supplies, do the laundry, make "packs" for everyone through out the shift, sweep between each haircut, and mop. Plus closing at night by yourself. Money stealing by hair cutters because anyone could use the drawer.

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).
