Pros

The company as a whole seems fine, aside from the refusal to acknowledge issues with their franchise owners.

Cons

Suzanne Ely does not care about her employees or clients. She consistently messes up payroll, feels that everyone is replaceable (shown by the fact that I was the 6th GM in a 12 month period), and micromanages by watching cameras in the studios constantly. The culture she has created within her studios is toxic.

Pros

Emotionally fulfilling work, seeing clients progress towards their goals is rewarding. Time goes by quickly when you're engaged with your client.

Cons

For stretchlab generally: Grossly underpaid for the level of skilled physical labor. This is intense on the body over time, with repetitive stress to joints. You must shape your physical training and recovery outside of the job, around the job itself. The Dublin location (same owner at Gahanna and Powell) : Owner did not pay rate specified in offer letter, and refused to rectify the problem. Poor customer service to clients from owner and management. Constantly changes their minds on how operations should function, lack of consistency overall. No respect for personal time, very unlikely to grant time off requests. Does not follow franchise format of Lead Flex -> providing ongoing training for Flexologist. This sucked, because it felt like there were few opportunities to improve skills. I was the most utlizied/consistently booked flex, and was still bullied/berated for getting sick despite being the highest earner. Everyone quit - management and all flexes, due to owner behavior. Owner should not be in a people-oriented business, he is not a people-person.
