Pros

• Provide training • You are able to build your clientele • You get some retail sales experience • Competitive pay

Cons

• Depending on your management and franchisee, you can feel unappreciated and like just another number to them • Bonuses are unattainable • Ridiculously underpaid, overworked and undervalued • Catty high-school girl drama. Your coworkers act like they’re a team, but then go around & talk behind each-others back and to the clients • My center does not provide PTO or benefits

Pros

Great coworkers, supportive team environment, loyal clients, and valuable opportunities to develop professional skills.

Cons

I’d like to raise some concerns about communication and fairness. We are asked to communicate everything, yet often our messages go unanswered or are met with a negative attitude. There is also a sense of favoritism in time-off approvals. Last-minute scheduling changes have disrupted my plans due to lack of notice. I’ve been incorrectly scheduled due to miscommunication, and I’ve had intense shifts without reasonable breaks. Additionally, our manager consistently arrives later than anyone, often when clients are waiting to pay, yet she gives attitude to others for minor delays. On top of that, product management is often last-minute. We run out of supplies like products, creams, or paper, and it only gets addressed when urgent, forcing us to scramble between rooms. I’m bringing these concerns forward because I hope for a more consistent, supportive, and equitable work environment for all of us.
