Pros

New out of beauty school, training. Hourly pay with some benefits at some locations. Tips can be good in some locations.

Cons

Schedules in-consistent each week. Inexperienced or non-existent management team, lots of drama. Management makes assumptions without asking employees. This franchise is not respected in the community compared to other franchises. Ten hour shifts in some cases which is hard on the body. 14 - 17 average haircut times if you like that. Better to do 2 haircuts an hour and build a customer base. Not all Great Clips offer productivity or commission pay or benefits to all if its employees. Ask questions before taking a job. If they are not worth giving a notice to when you quit, then they are not worth working for.

Since each salon is independently owned and operated, your franchisee would be the best person to address your concerns. Please contact them directly regarding any issues with employment.
