Pros

Great people, mostly successful and somewhat wealthy, opening the opportunity to train privately outside of the facility. Great brand, proud when I was a part of it.

Cons

The pay is horrible. Management expects you to devote all of your time picking up clients and selling packages, ALL THE TIME. It isn't about quality, it's about quantity. You will work far more hours building and managing your business than hours you are compensated for. 20 sessions = over 40 hours of work. Report, Sales, Complimentary Sessions, Equifits, Program Design, Scheduling, Business Management, Client Management, Results Tracking, etc. I recommend finding free software online that does all this for you and just going on your own. (Which is exactly what I did.)

Pros

Spa Management is professional and tends to employees needs. Encourages growth within the company and career wise.

Cons

The General management is continuously changing so credit for past performance is lost.
