Pros

I can work in my field

Cons

Underpays employees for the hard work Employees are forced to work alone with appointments forty minutes apart Management focuses on weaknesses and rarely rewards strengths Employees are expected to have an $80 sales average but have coupons for $7.99 packages and $3.99 sheets. Thus making it extremely hard to attain the wanted sales average. Lots of turnover so many employees do not know what they are doing or ever care if they do a good job. Therefore my studio has many angry customers due to frequent laziness. We are expected to solicit guests in the mall to come into our studio which usually gets one walk in for every hour an employee is soliciting and makes many frequent mall goes hate the studio. We are required to make telemarketing calls to past customers which only results in one sit for every 50-75 calls in my studio. Employees must have "on call" days which can vary from once a week to seven days a week. We are not paid for these "on call" shift either and the manger can call employees at any time during that shift and make them come in. Overall this job is seriously not worth it. I am planning on finding another studio to work for that actually appreciates its employees.

Pros

Coworkers were always friendly and great to work with. Insurance was great.

Cons

Literally everything else. Company makes major changes every few months, firing managers across the country without replacements. Did not fire a sales rep who was committing felony fraud but fired small employees with false information. Company is 90 years old but refuses to make basic improvements. Nowhere to move up and bonus is rigged.
