      Very unprofessional - Stylist/Assistant Manager Great Clips Employee Review

      Pros

      Lots of walk ins.. Constant marketing.. Lots of locations, so you can transfer (if you BEG)... Open lots of hours (but expected to cover lots of holes in schedule)

      Cons

      Upper management is unsupportive and abusive.. I've never seen anything like it. Way too much paperwork... Emphasis on the wrong issues... Training required employees to cover ALL of there own expenses... Abusive customers are so scary, you feel unsafe... Management pay is barely more than you make as a stylist (SO not worth it).. Impossible to take a break... Rules are not enforced...

      We are sorry to read about your frustrations. Because each salon is independently owned and operated, the person who would be in the best position to address your issues would be your franchisee. If you'd like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the location where you are employed and details. We will forward it to your franchisee for follow up with you. Thank you.

      Pros

      Flexible schedules, 401k, health, & dental benefits, bonuses (based on salon performance, base wage with poetional to hit commission on service & product sales, fun friendly & welcoming environment for employees/customers, continuing education for growth in the industry, professional career growth with Great Clips (depending upon your franchise)

      Cons

      Haircutting exclusive so if you enjoy other services in the industry (chemicals, waxing, updo styling) this is not the place Franchised salons, so salons are ran differently.
