Upon acquisition of the company, Bruce Fabel was appointed CEO. Big Mistake!!!! This one man has all but completely destroyed the company and the brand.
As a "potential employee" reading these reviews, you should know that the Ideal Image NOW is not the wonderful Ideal Image that it was back THEN. These are real reviews from real employees who wanted and needed to have a voice again.
All of the "great reviews" you see are current employees in Tampa who were instructed to write them by Bruce Fabel, specifically about himself and how great he is. Yes, he is that vain that he instructed employees to write reviews to boost his ego and counteract the multiple negative reviews.
Having to work with him was just awful! He is controlling, manipulative and arrogant. He harshly judges other people because he believes he is better than them and he intimidates them with his "power". He uses his position as a my way or the highway tactic. He is inappropriate and makes derogatory and unnecessary comments to you because he "can"! He has fired or forced all of the employees, who were the backbone of the company, to resign.
If you do not follow his strict orders, including what to eat and drink, you will be next. Literally, he told us what we can eat and drink in the office.
To work here, you must look a "certain way" and participate in all company functions, even though you put in extreme overtime weekly, you must still give up your weekend family time to attend company gatherings or you will be accused of "not participating or caring".
This is the new corporate environment and it is felt at the center level too. Changes are made daily regarding pay structure and bonuses, new services are pushed into the centers with minimal training and test trials and employees and customers are unhappy! The turn over rate is higher than it has ever been. Bruce cares about 2 things... His ego and his paycheck. He has his eyes on the money and any and everything between that means nothing. This is how to destroy a company- Let Bruce show you!
