Bad Culture, Bad Benefits

Pros

Complimentary gym membership, excluding certain premier club locations. hybrid work schedule for some employees.

Cons

The Culture of this company has taken a major hit in the past few years, and it is pretty toxic culture now. The company executives don't care about the employees, only stock prices. Employees continually bring up grievances, but executives do little or nothing to address them. The benefits are abysmal for a company whose slogan is the "Healthy Way of Life". No 401(k) match. Maternity leave was just implemented in 2023, and it includes only 8 weeks of leave for the 'birthing' parent'. It does not apply to adoption or surrogacy. If your partner qualifies for health care elsewhere, your parter cannot be on your health plan. This year, less than a week before Juneteenth, the company rescinded the Holiday as a corporate holiday, requiring people to use PTO last minute instead. Most DEI initiatives seem to have disappeared, along with the recruiting department. Employees have been told numerous times that it is a 'recording breaking year', but the company silently discontinued their merit increase program and didn't pay out bonuses. No announcements were made about compensation.

Pros

Free gym membership, beautiful place

Cons

They lie and tell you it's so busy when it's dead. They ask if you are a people person because they expect you to promote yourself on your down time, which is fine. I asked specifically of there were clients booking or it was going to be me looking for clients and the answer was oh there are plenty of clients, that is why we are hiring, we turn away clients because we don't have enough estheticians to book them with. We just want to make sure we see our staff being active on their down times so we want you to go around and talk to members, introduce yourself give out your cards etc. They tell you it's commission based on tier salary and say it's alot to explain but don't worry you'll be so busy you'll make top commission regardless, then when you start working you find out tiers means you don't make commission until you make a certain amount of money EVERYDAY! And if you go under that tier one day, you're done for the whole week. Back down the tier to nothing once again. They don't tell you either that your commissions are based on monthly sales. It's not busy, your base pay is min wage $15 an hour, so you are basically being paid to walk around and hand out your cards to members that are working out? Lounging at the pool? They always have a help wanted posted both Garden city and Syosset. Now I know why!
