Pros

Customers Tips Continuous Education There are really not a lot of Pros for this company. Each location is franchise owned and the corporation takes no responsibility in making sure employees are treated respectfully and fairly. Corporate also encourages work over family ALWAYS

Cons

Abusive Management Hostile Work Environment No Work Life Balance Corporate doesn’t care about employees since they are franchise owned. Corporate encourages company first family last.

Pros

They give hours to work

Cons

Pay really sucks and tips. Can vary from $1.00- maybe 10.00 per client can live on a check for 2 week total payout less than $400.00

Since each salon is independently owned and operated, franchisees may use a number of different factors to determine stylist's total compensation. If you would like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you were employed & details. We will provide it to the franchisee for you. If you would like to be anonymous, please let us know. Thank you.

Pros

Fast paced, guaranteed base wage, endless opportunities for advancement, team work, guaranteed clientele, discount on products, flexibility, paid vacation and holidays I’ve worked at my location under two years after not being in the hair industry for quite some time. I was promoted to assistant manager after working there for ten months, and promoted to store manager nine months after that. I love this company and all of our clientele. This is honestly one of the best companies to work for despite no chemicals besides perms at some locations. It is such a welcoming environment for stylists of any age. My stylists in my salon range from 20 yr to 75 and we all work as a team.

Cons

Sometimes during winter we can have periods of time where no one will come in because the weather is too bad. Other than that, this is a wonderful company to work for. Love my franchise owners as well!
