Pros

Free gym membership, beautiful place

Cons

They lie and tell you it's so busy when it's dead. They ask if you are a people person because they expect you to promote yourself on your down time, which is fine. I asked specifically of there were clients booking or it was going to be me looking for clients and the answer was oh there are plenty of clients, that is why we are hiring, we turn away clients because we don't have enough estheticians to book them with. We just want to make sure we see our staff being active on their down times so we want you to go around and talk to members, introduce yourself give out your cards etc. They tell you it's commission based on tier salary and say it's alot to explain but don't worry you'll be so busy you'll make top commission regardless, then when you start working you find out tiers means you don't make commission until you make a certain amount of money EVERYDAY! And if you go under that tier one day, you're done for the whole week. Back down the tier to nothing once again. They don't tell you either that your commissions are based on monthly sales. It's not busy, your base pay is min wage $15 an hour, so you are basically being paid to walk around and hand out your cards to members that are working out? Lounging at the pool? They always have a help wanted posted both Garden city and Syosset. Now I know why!

Pros

Free Membership Cool employees Discounts on services

Cons

They don’t pay anything, and the CEO should honestly be ashamed. If employees were paid properly, there wouldn’t be so much drama and tension in the workplace. Communication is terrible because management doesn’t even seem to care — probably because they’re getting crumbs too. Spa management was dreadful, and the demotion was necessary. How do you fail to have people booked during major holidays when the money and clientele are clearly there? There was no structure, no leadership, and no motivation for employees to succeed. Having a successful spa for 3 years and coming into this environment I was not impressed. No growth, no support, no appreciation. Loved the members tho! And S/O to Leemar, Virgil and Dr. Hayden love them down!
