Pros

Lots of faces come through due to the membership program so it’s nice to not have to search for a client base from scratch.

Cons

You can get screwed with no tips from time to time or clients that tip poorly and are just looking for a good deal with the membership. It’s a great business model for the people at the top but not so much for estheticians. Unreliable schedule too. They’ll cut your hours last minute if you’re not fully booked up and move your appointments to someone else. I was on my way to work several times then told to come a few hours later which was annoying and a waste of a commute. Benefits are not great at all. There’s a small contribution to get your own health insurance but it’s not significant enough to make much of a difference. The marketplace is just expensive so it’d be nice if they had healthcare offered through the company. Depending on location you can also encounter cliques and cattiness among the staff. Most of my coworkers didn’t even introduce themselves when I started. Overall was happy to leave. I didn’t enjoy the environment at all.

Pros

Always on top of newest products and services, gives employees incentives every month, will make sure you are 100% ready to perform a protocol before servicing a client, good location and aesthetic atmosphere

Cons

A lot of favoritism, will over-work you...kind of a pro and con because you will have full bookings especially if you are just starting out as an esti BUT you will get clients the OGs do not want or that have a bad rep and the worst hours. Anything the original girls do not want they WILL put on you. The management are girls who have been there from day 1 so they have first choice in everything including days off, clients, free services because of models needed, etc. They are not lenient with days off at all and expect you to know what days off are needed 2/3 months in advance, if something comes up last minute you will most likely not get the time off. Can be catty at some points and some things may be done spitefully against you. Owners are nice but rarely there, they put full trust into the original girls running the place so you basically have to be on their best side to get benefits there from them. Also pay is terrible, hourly is below minimum wage and commission on services and products is 7% and they will die on the hill of telling you that you can sell your way into making a lot of money with that.
