      Pros

      high traffic clientele and good tips

      Cons

      Senior management always pushing faster without concern for quality. Raises are far between and there isn't incentive to work faster or harder due to lack of productivity incentives. The only increase income comes from tips that are counted as part of your "effective wage" that accounts for half if not more of your income. Very little work/life balance as it is always short staffed or filled with inadequately skilled workers causing fast burnout/turnover of tenured stylists.

      Glad you had a good volume of customers and tips. Each Great Clips salon is independently operated and owned by a local franchisee who is responsible for setting wages and schedules. We really do appreciate your feedback, but would also encourage you to share this feedback with the owner. If you would like to share more, you can contact our support line at 1-800-473-2825, or e-mail us at customerservice@greatclips.com.

      Pros

      Don't have to find your own clients

      Cons

      Home work life is not a thing. You will miss out on so many things. Salons are short staffed and expect stylists to pick up the hours, they want managers to live there basically. They want you to do a quality haircut in 12 -16 minutes, dubbing Great Clips the fast food of hair. They don't care about quality just quantity and money. I have lost my passion for the industry, now I'm just another robot
