Pros

Love my franchisee, fkexible hours, great pay, great clientele! I enjoy going to work everyday. We have a great team environment and great culture in our salons. It's such a fun friendly environment that I cannot see myself anywhere else. It's hard to explain as I have worked at other salons both full service and select service and the environment here and the team we have among our other salons is different. It's professional but relaxed. I feel like I am part of something bigger and that what I do matters. We have 9 salons in our organization and I am part of a big team of creative people. I mainly work at one location but help at others as needed. I have a nice base wage, additional bonuses and benefits including insurance and a savings program. I am generally busy so I make good tips and time moves quickly. I have become a really strong stylist.

Cons

There are not too many. I would love to close at 8pm, we close at 9pm. I also would love to take appointments throughout the day vs all walk in. We do perms at our location and I would prefer to just do cuts.

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.
