Pros

Easy commute from anywhere in the five boroughs

Cons

The owner is living in the past. When the "Spa Week" was created in the early aughts, it consistently garnered news. Over the years, it, like similar promotions like "Restaurant Week," etc, have become annual events, and aren't newsworthy anymore. However, the owner refuses to understand that and gets angry that they can't get press anymore. This is a revolving door business; people get fired constantly. One minute the owner loves you, and the next moment, you're on their hit list.

Pros

This review is directed at the anonymous author of the past two negative reviews (yes, it's the same person). I'm one of the "mindless stooges" who you clashed with and whom you refer to in your reviews as being "controlled by management and forced to write positive reviews". Clearly, getting employed here and your antics (in the two weeks you actually worked here) were nothing more than a ploy to receive unemployment benefits. Thanks for getting fired so quickly and minimizing the disruption you caused. If you would have stayed, I would have needed to find a new job.

Cons

small staff needs everyone to give 100%... fast pace will leave anyone unprepared or unwilling, behind.

Pros

Seems good for extra money around the holidays

Cons

Fighting for payment. Example, I submitted my request the first week of March and it is May 20th now, still not paid. I am in constant contact with them. Payment for requests/GC submissions are paid out the 15th of the following month after submission. I should have been paid April 15th. The fight now goes on and I hope no one uses Spa Week. By the way, customers, your provider eats 20%. So buy a GC directly from them so they get the full pay out.
