Pros

Free lunches and free massages

Cons

Corporate team is a mess. In person work required. Only 2 weeks of accrued vacation. No sick leave. Constant Covid exposures. Founder is a narcissistic control freak who frequently brings employees to tears. No leadership, total chaos. 5am emails and fits of rage from leadership is tolerated.

Pros

The studio itself is clean and the clientele is usually respectful, but that does not offset working under people who completely disregard staff input.

Cons

• Scheduling issues were repeatedly raised in team meetings but were never addressed or resolved. • Management consistently gave empty assurances about “looking into it” without any follow through. • Staff input is treated as optional and is routinely ignored in decision making. • Decisions are made in isolation without considering day to day operational realities. • Employees are expected to remain positive and grateful despite ongoing unresolved problems. • Skilled therapists left after being ignored when requesting basic and reasonable adjustments. • Management acted surprised when employees resigned despite repeated warnings being dismissed. • The workplace culture has become stagnant, discouraging any further suggestions for improvement. • Most employees now do minimal work and look for opportunities to leave due to lack of change. • It is exhausting for staff to deal with ongoing issues that are acknowledged but never fixed.
