Pros

It is a real sales job, so if you can deal with the extremely high standards of multitasking: ie detailing, cleaning, bed maintainence, auditing and membership and product knowledge; it does look good on your resume. You have the opportunity to network yourself to clients when you build your rapport- so if sales isn't quite for you, there may be someone who can hook you up elsewhere, but don't count on it.

Cons

A good amount of fines are delegated in this company! They take it out of you commissions, normally 5 bucks for a mistake. When all is said and done, even in busy season, you can make about 4% of what you bring in the company. A lot is expected of you for a very minimal payment. Management and the owner are both sales pros and know how to pay very little for their high expectations, but make it seem as though all is fair. The smart ones realize this and leave- creating an extremely high turnover rate. Membership sales need to be explained carefully- there are tons of customer service issues with the way it's explained. Overall it feels like a labor camp sometimes. There are days at some locations where you don't have a chance to eat and you don't ever really stop moving for long hours. You are expected to have a checklist complete by the end of the night- sometimes you will be at the store for and hour or more.

Pros

Pros: - Free tanning! Access to amazing services such as red-light therapy, spray tanning, UV Beds, body wraps, vacustep AND custom airbrush! - WhenToWork online scheduling! Easy access to your schedule wherever you are at! - Networking - You have the opportunity to meet incredible clients all the time. We have many local infamous tanners with a wide network for future career options, or cross-promotions. - AWESOME Co-workers! We are all human and contain flaws, but I choose to focus on their great qualities and therefor do not have a single employee that I do not enjoy working with! - There are more than enough hours to work if you are actually retaining the information and applying it effectively! - GREAT Sales Experience - ALWAYS potential to grow from a part-time job into a full-time career! We hire from within the company after proving that you are capable of handling more. - Company has TWO Corporate Trainers who cycle through salons to ensure that you never skip a beat and constantly stay motivated. - Has a great Training Program (boot camp) followed up by additional training in-salon. - I have not ever had a paycheck issue! Always on-time and in correct amount! - Only two weeks notice needed for time-off approval! Managers try to be as compensating as possible for your schedules.

Cons

- We no longer get paid weekly (bi-weekly pay) - It would obviously be nice to get paid a higher wage, but it is enough for living off of (said from doing so!) and it is a commission incentive so you are making your own check to a certain extent!
