Pros

Fun and interesting atmosphere. I have built up quite a following who I enjoy.

Cons

they lie, they set up certain commission structures that are impossible to hit. was in management but because I didn’t work a certain amount of hours per week because it’s literally impossible to be scheduled that many hours I was demoted. The upper management like the area managers are inexperienced and don’t care about the stylists. They like to only tell you everything you’re doing wrong with no positive reinforcement. I just say keep looking unless you’re desperate. they like to highlight being an assistant manager as if it’s a privilege but you only get $.50 more an hour for a a lot more work. The team I currently work for I do not care for. We were bought out just after Covid when we were able to return to work. is he like to play it’s all fun and games make it exciting but in reality it’s not. Only thing I can also say is if you build up a clientele that’s why you’re going to make money when they tip you well. Commission structure is Set up for you to hardly ever hit it.

Thank you for your feedback! I am sorry to hear that you are not having a good experience. Each location has a unique commission structure. Have you discussed your concerns with your store owner? I know they will want the opportunity to address them. I will share this with the appropriate party and wish you the best!

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.
