Pros

-50% off services, with one free one if you work enough in a week. - Other good product discounts. -Set schedule you can work around.

Cons

-The pay is abysmal. $11.50 is the starting pay for a GSC, and while you *might* be lucky and get the lead position, do not count on it. You also only get a $.50 raise, with 10x more stress. -There is no recognition of good work for one worker in particular. -Don't expect any warnings, reviews, etc. for when you are doing poorly. -They expect a lot from you, despite being paid nearly minimum wage. You are constantly the one to deal with angry clients, with little help or guidance from corporate. -Constantly looking for new GSCs and other technicians, as GSCs are typically at the company for about ~6 months.

Pros

When you're a new Esthetician, right out of school, it can be hard to get a job because in school they rarely show you speed waxing, so you're not up to par in a high volume setting. InSpa has put together an intense 3 day training program where new hires work one on one with a company trainer to perfect their skill set in waxing/facials/tinting. They teach you all the protocols and really prepare you for success! They are a locally owned, and I have had nothing but good experiences with upper management. It truly feels like one big family. (The CEO gives everyone hugs when she comes in, it's seriously the sweetest thing) I can't speak for all the store managers because I haven't worked for all of them but my manager at the Mill Creek location is awesome. Great balance of being tough, but fair. And the manager at the Bellevue Sq location is one of the sweetest/motivated people you'll ever meet! Great advancement opportunity! (They hired me right out of school and six years later I'm a lead and a trainer) Not to mention all the extra certification programs they have to offer at no cost to you. (Lash extensions, Microneedling, PCA peels and more)

Cons

No direct deposit No comprehensive health care plan (Supplemental only)
