Pros

You might be lucky enough to make a second family. I love the girls I work with. Being payed hourly is always nice because even when your not working you get paid You will learn and grow especially if you have a good manger or other stylists are usually happy to help

Cons

You don’t get paid much and depending on your location my not make very good tips You will never have a set schedule and need to request days off for doctors appointments or anything serious. Understaffing is in almost every great clips and you’re expected to work ridiculous hours and pick up the slack of people that have left There’s a possibility they might try to move you to other salons after bonding with everyone in your home location. You have to take customers right up until it hits 9:00 which has you leaving late sometimes so if you have children this job may not Be the best for you No benefits It is a very fast paced environment, some people can handle it and some can’t.

Because each salon is independently owned and operated, your franchisee would be the best person to address your comments and feedback. If you would like, you can email jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you are employed and details. We will provide it to your franchisee. If you prefer to be anonymous, please let us know. Thank you.
