Pros

Free waxing and a paycheck. If you dont like something process wise, dont worry it will change in 2-3 weeks.

Cons

No solid structure, outdated leadership and management style. Your literally just a number if your outside of Jersey. Trying to see what sticks is not a solid leadership style. Right now they want the DM's to lie to their teams and talk about values and upward mobility. There is none. All center mangers are upset because they dont bonus but are expected to work over 40hrs being on call. NONE OF THE districts have made their targeted goals in years. They just throw out numbers and see what sticks. Interview process is chaotic as well as training. Several new DM's have already expressed being lied too about job responsibilities. There is no upward mobility for minorities they are definitely not promoting anyone of color or anyone they cant micromange. Patel group is trash run.. what company offers a 401k without a match lol they are a joke.

Pros

Great coworkers, supportive team environment, loyal clients, and valuable opportunities to develop professional skills.

Cons

I’d like to raise some concerns about communication and fairness. We are asked to communicate everything, yet often our messages go unanswered or are met with a negative attitude. There is also a sense of favoritism in time-off approvals. Last-minute scheduling changes have disrupted my plans due to lack of notice. I’ve been incorrectly scheduled due to miscommunication, and I’ve had intense shifts without reasonable breaks. Additionally, our manager consistently arrives later than anyone, often when clients are waiting to pay, yet she gives attitude to others for minor delays. On top of that, product management is often last-minute. We run out of supplies like products, creams, or paper, and it only gets addressed when urgent, forcing us to scramble between rooms. I’m bringing these concerns forward because I hope for a more consistent, supportive, and equitable work environment for all of us.
