Pros

Hard working & knowledgable flexologists. Grand Rapids is a great community. Owners are super nice people - very sweet family. New Franchise to Michigan. Beautiful studio's and quality products (expensive for a reason). Well educated and well trained flexologists - great group of professionals. I loved working with them! Great members! Everyday I was blessed to see smiles and get hugs! East Grand Rapids location is in an excellent neighborhood.

Cons

New business to Michigan so the area didn't know what it was. Corporate office is in California. It was also challenging selling expensive memberships with a 3 month commitment. Long shifts. Benefit package wasn't as expected. . California micro managed the GM's work day in a 9 hour schedule for an 8 hour shift (?) I often worked 10 hours.

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.
