Eh... better not
|
|
The other employees were the best part of the job. Without each other our heads probably would have popped off from the unorganized and cheap establishment we were dealing with. Yeah just the technicians were the only good part. I guess also you get 50% off products
|
Lowest paying massage job of my entire life
Not enough towels and products - always short on everything and have to skip things we are supposed to do for clients
Uses Groupon - which means it brings the cheapest people who do not tip
Hire some people at front desk that are not friendly
Having a pool is a liability had a guest getting married the next day and slipped in pool area with giant gash on forehead
Emotionally unstable/unprofessional manager
Piping and roach issues
Didn't have cameras that worked so things got stolen from the spa all the time and they did nothing about it

Run a mental background check on management and do not use Groupon if you care about your employees even 1% or even about your company 1%. It brings the wrong people in that will not be repeat clients that tip and appreciate your employees

Business has been shaky!
|
|
-Great co-workers
-Steady clientele for the most part
-Most of the time you have the supplies needed to perform your job
|
-Lack of upper management
-Owners don't take the time to address employee concerns
-Lack of transparency in business practices
-Promotinf the spa too much with Groupon and other discount websites

There really needs to be more communication between the owners and the employees. So many people have quit and the revolving doors of new employees gets exhaustative. Massage portion of spa closed in February from lack of oversight on managements behalf and company seems pretty shaky now.

Good expirience
|
|
Good management, always available. Company is growing. The space is beautiful. The location is close to all transportation systems. Always had what I needed. My manager was flexible. My pay was consistent.
|
They do not have a license to do massage, and I was sent home without a return date. Direct deposit is necessary in this day and time- they do not offer it.

Makes their own rules
|
|
Everyone was friendly to work with and everyone became a small family of friends you could count on.
|
Ohhh were to begin........
1. Management lacks organization and communication skills. They will schedule you on days you are not available without letting you know and when not showing up for your shift they will either fire you or write you up and consider it a "no call no show".
2. With the lack of communication management will not let staff know about changes to the spa or company.
3. Everyone is to follow the "handbook and company policy list" however,when hired you are not provided this list or booklet so management will tell you one thing but someone else another thing and say it's in the employee handbook.
3. Company does not do direct deposit for pay checks because of owners past.
4. Because of no direct deposit checks are late 2-3 days after they are due. This has happened 3 times for the time I worked for the company.
5. Company does not stock treatment rooms with enough product.
6. Company takes a LONG time to fix any repairs.
7. Good luck trying to get workers comp if hurt on the job here. They will take you to court and say it's your fault when it was clear they have ignored warning signs that they needed to repair the floor or tiles.
8. Management/ owners "forgot"to renew their massage license recently and has laid off massage therapist due to their actions.
9. Company offers too many vouchers/deals for guest that the guest will not tip the right amount because they are trying to save a buck.
10. Money is spent in all the wrong places for this company and instead of trying to improve they are getting worse.
I would not recommend this company for work.

Stop hiring family members of management and actually hire someone that will be good for the company and not a quick fix.

Lackluster
|
|
The location of the spa is convenient.
|
The company runs deals via Living Social or some other online deal site to keep customers coming in the door. This did not allow the staff build a strong list of regular, full paying guests. Products ran low often, so you had to be inventive to work there.
