Pros

Other than some of the people you will meet, there is nothing spectacular about working for Planet Beach.

Cons

The corporate office only consists of 20 people and everyone is overworked and under paid. Except the maybe 5 puppets that are only making money bc they know too much at this point. The company has no money and the checks will bounce or get held even when they only get paid once a month. The CEO has no problem spending thousands of dollars on the "cover model contest" but can't pay his own bills. You can't trust anyone there, half of the employees would sell their mother if it meant a dollar. They trick people into thinking they have this great concept, when in reality most franchises struggle to even keep their doors open. The franchises are all ran like crap because the corporate office has no idea what they are doing. It makes sense since no one works there for longer than a year ever! No one with a soul will ever make it in that company because you will get lost in the deception and lies. If you want to work in a shady, unethical, struggling company then this is for you. My guess is they will go bankrupt in the next 3 years. Every other review on here is dead on. In fact everything you read online about Planet Beach is true. Sad.

Our CEO is an entrepreneur; a visionary and a businessman that has successfully created an industry based on his passion for innovation and health and wellness. Over the last 3 years, Planet Beach has had record profitability, which we owe to his leadership and vision and the teamwork of our top executives. We hold our employees to high standards and look at them as family with many of the executives and directors having worked together for over 10+ years. We all benefit from each other’s success and we strive to further that success everyday. Our Franchises that work on their businesses are happy and doing great and have accrued more revenue than ever. We support our franchisees in so many ways! Although we have reached our goals and gone beyond that, we strive daily for excellence from not only our franchise locations but ourselves. So you are aware, our Cover Model program is one of our unique marketing programs that have helped us be able to accomplish our sales goals. Most of the cover model program expenses with travel and accommodations are covered by negotiations, bartering and trade-outs. The 5 beautiful girls that become the face of our brand are the reason our marketing stands out among the rest. Again, We hope all see Planet Beach as a family and a lifestyle brand and we benefit from the success of each employee, so we apologize for you negative experience.

Pros

Some customers and coworkers were genuinely enjoyable.

Cons

Feeling constantly monitored by unqualified individuals was beyond frustrating. The environment often felt gloomy, with little trust or support from those overseeing the operations. Decisions were poorly informed and came from people who didn't seem to understand the job, let alone how to guide others. It was like being stuck in a loop of bad calls and mismanagement that made everything harder than it needed to be.
