Pros

In the Tennessee Area the owners truly care about you and you are not just a number like at some other "chain" salons. Exciting sports concept that guys love (they tip much better too). Very comfortable work attire but it is a uniform so not sloppy. Lots of management training with some owners so stylists are not stuck with a manager that doesn't know what she is doing. TEAM is important to this company so you are not just slammed into a station and left on your own

Cons

this is NOT a place for "newbies". You should already have a very firm set of skills in haircutting before applying here. They can help you learn better techniques and skills and they have 11 separate classes to help you with a new technique, retail sales, communication but this will not train someone who doesn't have a clue how to cut hair.

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.
