Pros

Fast paced and fun environment. The repeat customers love seeing the same face and have made that known.

Cons

Communication is sometimes lacking and the organizational skills could be better.

Great Clips Response

Thank you. Since each salon is independently owned and operated, the best person to address your comments would be your franchisee. If you'd like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you are employed and details. We will forward it to your franchisee for follow up with you.

Pros

Flexible hours Benefits Hourly pay plus bonuses Room for growth Free training/education Great management staff My franchisee and his staff are wonderful. I have had room to move up in the company here where I have not in other salons. I have worked in many salons over the course of my career and Great Clips is where I intend to stay for the remainder of it. I couldn't ask for a better place to work.

Cons

No set schedule High turnover in some stores Some stores understaffed Some stores unorganized (Great Clips is a franchise so some stores aren't run as well as others)

Great Clips Response

Thank you and your team for everything you do in the salon each day!
