      Pros

      I was able to leave the store for lollipop runs which happened to be the highlight of my day

      Cons

      -was not respected by most of stylists -no former training on tills (worked there 6 months and still didn't know how to cash people -never told my schedule -had to clean glass shelves that weren't anchored to the wall, they fell on me a few times and the stylists didn't even flinch or ask if I was okay -I had to find my own replacement when I left and when I went on a predetermined vacation. (I was 15) and then had to train them.

      Pros

      Flexible schedules, 401k, health, & dental benefits, bonuses (based on salon performance, base wage with poetional to hit commission on service & product sales, fun friendly & welcoming environment for employees/customers, continuing education for growth in the industry, professional career growth with Great Clips (depending upon your franchise)

      Cons

      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.
