Pros

Flexible hours Benefits Hourly pay plus bonuses Room for growth Free training/education Great management staff My franchisee and his staff are wonderful. I have had room to move up in the company here where I have not in other salons. I have worked in many salons over the course of my career and Great Clips is where I intend to stay for the remainder of it. I couldn't ask for a better place to work.

Cons

No set schedule High turnover in some stores Some stores understaffed Some stores unorganized (Great Clips is a franchise so some stores aren't run as well as others)

Haircutting exclusive so if you enjoy other services in the industry (chemicals, waxing, updo styling) this is not the place Franchised salons, so salons are ran differently.
