I worked at Great Clips full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
The tips you can keep, worked with your schedule, room for advancement, professional atmosphere, well structured corporation, and you can be yourself!
Cons
Working on weekends, can be strict but it helps to keep a maintained structure and professionalism, and recommending at least one product a day (difficult, if you're not a "salesperson").
Advice to Management
Depending on the management team, most likely in my experience, I've had awesome managers. Keep up the good work! Stay connected with your team to acknowledge their hard work and keep up the communication between the team to let them know you care.

Pros
I was tired of working in full service, the cattiness, fighting for new clients. It was such a releif working at Great Clips. I always am making money and we rotate clients so it made my life a lot easier. Plus I know I will always go home with money in my pocket.
Cons
No Color.

Make sure other stylists are not hiding in the back to avoid clients or cuts they don't want to do. Make sure they are trained/
