Pros

None.....really.i guess that you get the members rate for massages..

Cons

The pay is terrible for all the work one is required to do, you have to be fully booked to get paid your service if not you make ten bux an hour, there are barely any facials because the owners do not know how to properly market themselves,they always require two estheticians on duty even though theres barely any buisness for ONE! The break room is disgusting you eat your food on break in the same place where the dirty linens and main garbage for the entire establishment is.If you dont wear your name tag you get charged ten dollars, if theres a murad packet missing no matter who took it or how it was misplaced ALL estgeticians get charged ten dollars. The turn over rate for front desk, estheticians is ridiculous, I mean they fire people for the dumbest reasons.

Pros

Booked pretty much all the time, getting booked at last second if your not booked is common more than not. Flexible schedule they asked what I wanted to work and how much i wanted to work. Provide all lotions,sheets,and etc.

Cons

Being booked is not an issue but being booked correctly is. Being an LMT is hard on your body and certain clients need more than what you can give. Which having so many LMT to choose from here shouldn't be an issue to get them with the right LMT, but you find yourself getting clients who ether want more pressure or a modalitiy that you do not do. It gets frustrating having to repeat yourself at least once or twice a day. Especially when the front has a sheet right under the keyboard showing them exactly everything they need to know about all the LMT there. Getting the issue fixed is hard and typically nothing is done and told to just do what we can do. Which is very hard when your in flied of customer service and you want to give your best to the customer which should start from the moment they call to book, but the ball gets dropped at the front and then the LMT are just supposed to deal with there mistake. Sometimes you can get the booking error fixed but you get attitude from the front or manager. When it comes to the store manager knowing about massage therapy and medical contraindications you can just throw that idea out the window. They know very little so make sure you check all medical forms carefully front and management miss a lot. Don't get me wrong you make money here and tips typically make your paycheck, but some of these cons could cost you a license if your not careful.

Pros

- Consistent schedule - Benefits and 401K (full time employee, varies by location) - Some growth opportunities (given that you have good sales skills and meet some ridiculous goals)

Cons

- Very high, and a lot of times unrealistic expectations from management/franchisee - Employee experience is highly variable since each location is owned and managed by different franchisees - Some locations are poorly ran by owners and managers who have no experience or knowledge about the industry - At the end of the day, it is a corporation/franchise, so the bottom line 1st priority will always PROFIT, PROFIT, PROFIT.
