Pros

The only good thing about this company is that the men tip good. The pay isn't bad if you work allot of hours.

Cons

You have to attend a week long class before even starting on how to cut men's hair(even if you already know how to) they don't pay for transportation. You have to buy all your own shirts a different shirt for everyday and the shirts aren't cheap. You have to sell a ridiculous amount of product. If you don't sell enough they will constantly threaten to fire you and cut your hours. They will also make you come in for a class before or after your shift Everytime you don't sell enough so you can learn how to be more pursuading and pushy about selling hair products. Most of these women that have worked here a long time are extremely petty and agressive their whole life is sports clips and full of sports clips drama. So pathetic. They talk about it outside of work it's like they eat,sleep, and breathe sports clips, it's hard to get away from the company once your in. It's like a cult they don't want you to leave. They will do anything so you don't leave switch your store etc.etc. it's almost impossible to get permanently fired from this company. It's a extremely demanding job, it will literally suck the life out of you, you never get weekends off. There are no set hours and they work you so much you can't have a life. If your not selling enough products that is. If you don't sell you won't be able to to live. They will cut your hours if you don't sell enough products. They want you to keep the conversation around sports and hair products. You have to be extremely pushy to get people to buy them. The products are expensive and hard to sell sometimes. They put guys on the spot and make them feel guilty or belittle them if they really can't afford the product. I felt sorry for so many men when because of how mean and minulaptive these women were to them. They only care about selling hair products not about the customer or his/her feelings. I would never work back there again, I swear I still think about it sometimes I compare it to leaving a abusive relationship because that's what it feels like when you leave. They put a extreme guilt trip on you, they will blame you for everything ! Say you were the problem and your not good enough to work for them because you just can't keep up with the other girls that are pushing hair products, yet they will on the other hand try to talk you into switching to another slower store. Crazy people don't do it ! Plus if you can't cut men's hair that well they will constantly trash talk you.

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.
