Pros

1) No Micromanaging Occurs 2) As a manager you can make your store your own as long as you show your owners you are competent and can make them money 3) Keeps your mind refreshed daily on Anatomy/Physiology and Medical Terminology of the human body 4) It's better than McDonald's 5) Chances of you ever having to file a workers compensation claim is almost nonexistent.

Cons

1) HORRIBLE PAY 2) No benefits, PTO, or vacation 3) Gives off somewhat of a pyramid scheme feel when you figure out how the corporate office is really who is making the money 4) Required 2 week training at Stretch Zone's corporate location in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. (SUCH A MONEY GRAB FOR CORPORATE) 5) You might feel like a used car salesman or sleezy snake oil salesman at least 6-7 times daily.

Pros

Co workers are cool but management dislikes when ur friends with your co workers

Cons

If you’re looking for a workplace that respects your time, communicates clearly, and values its employees—this is not it. Leadership is a major issue here. There’s a noticeable lack of professionalism, including instances of being spoken over, having words put in your mouth, and being talked down to instead of listened to. Concerns aren’t addressed—they’re dismissed, often with “attitude adjustment” conversations rather than actual solutions. Work-life balance is essentially nonexistent. You’re expected to prioritize the job above everything else, despite compensation that doesn’t reflect those expectations. Scheduling is disorganized and inconsistent, and even when feedback is offered to improve it, it’s ignored. There’s also a clear disconnect between management and staff. Managers work standard weekday hours with no night or weekend presence, yet still criticize those shifts for underperforming—without offering support or firsthand understanding of those challenges. My final experience summed it up: a conversation with ownership that escalated into raised voices and misrepresentation of my reasons for leaving. I chose to walk out rather than continue being disrespected. There are better places to work that will treat you like a professional, not a problem.
