Pros

Full time employees at my location were offered benefits (health and dental) the products are always stocked and its a stable flow of work. They have a good culture and you are protected. Room for growth in company. Good for someone starting off for experience or for a part time position. Also having a following helps especially for estheticians.

Cons

Pay could be better. 9.50 an hour for downtime (when you don't have a client) and 15 an hour for hands on time. A lot of ads mislead that you will make 35 an hour but thats assuming every client leaves a 20$ tip and you are over 40% booked. Summer time is the busiest and fall has been slow, about 10 clients a week. The product line is not the best, I did not have good results with it. Also you don't get much commission for selling products(10%) and they are very pushy on sales. If you have one client you still have to sit around all day, they aren't flexible with your schedule.

Pros

good chance to build office skills to enter higher role. work here if you are tired of working in food service and want to build computer skills for office work.

Cons

pay is dirt, VC firm that owns half the company is constantly making things worse, and the membership policy is incredibly expensive predatory, and hard to quit. be ready to spend 8 hours a day telling people that are financially struggling that they cannot cancel their membership. when therapists call out for the day you pretty much have to start your day out calling all of their appointments and telling people first thing in the morning that the appointment they've had to wait weeks for is gone and their chronic pain needs to continue for even longer as you re-schedule them out weeks in advance.
