Pros

Free treatments Depending on the center, there is a fun working environment

Cons

Absolutely no work life balance. If you have kids this is not the place for you! If you want to have a decent life outside of work, then this isn't for you! RUN!!!! MANY late nights that they don't tell you about. There are nights where you might have to stay 1-2 past closing time to do a treatment. Laser hair removal is not that serious! Oh and the cleaning of the gauges is very questionable. A gauge will be on someones vagina one minute, and then on someones lip the next. I don't know about that cleaning solution. Go the extra mile and invest in a better sanitizing technique. It's not like Ideal Image doesn't have the money to do so. Blondes are not treatable, but during an assessment, they want you to tell the guest they are treatable so they spend $3000. "Focus on the positive". Then when the guest comes back complaining about no hair loss, they want you to deal with it. Puts the nurses in a bad spot. Many of my guest felt like they were scammed. Makes you feel like a low life for working there. DO NOT GO TO IDEAL IMAGE FOR INJECTABLES!!! Chances are they have no clue what they are doing, or they haven't had an injectables guest in months. Go to a plastic surgeon if you want anything done that has to do with beauty and your face. Ultherapy is a joke! Does not work! To be honest you can go work in the hospital and work way less than you do at Ideal Image, and make just as much money. In the hospital if you need extra money, pick up an extra shift. If you are a new grad nurse, DO NOT go work at Ideal Image right out of school. It will ruin your nursing career. Once you get tired of it and realize you spent a lot of money on nursing school and you're tired of doing the same boring thing, asking the same boring questions, you will then get the rude awakening of no hospitals calling you for an interview. Hospital nursing and being a "nurse" at Ideal Image are two totally different things. The number of years you have been a nurse do not matter, the amount of experience you have as a REAL NURSE matters. When you go to the hospital to work, settings for a laser will not matter. DON'T DO IT!!! If you are a nurse looking for a change, think twice about working for Ideal Image. Once this is on your resume, it hinders more than helps! Trust me! There is only a matter of time before this company sinks. Being all about money and not the safety of the guest is not the way to be.
