Pros

Clients are provided for you and it can be fast paced so if you get bored easily you will stay occupied.

Cons

The pace great clips expects you to keep with haircuts often makes it difficult to still provide quality service. They just expect you to go too fast and it feels robotic. It is easy to get burned out with a lack of work life balance as well.
