Pros

Clients are easy-going and easy to make happy. Coworkers are often fun to work with and make the job enjoyable. The pay is reasonable, and the team leaders (our franchise owners) are great people who take care of their staff.

Cons

Hours are dependent on current staff and managers that are always changing. Even if you're full time, they base your hours on performance if they are overstaffed. If they are understaffed, you will be given full-time hours regardless. Some weeks you can be working 35-40 hours and I've been scheduled as little as 10 for not selling enough retail the week prior. This is why I find the job extremely enjoyable for something you don't have to rely on for bills, and very stressful otherwise.

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).
