Pros

Independence to practice your treatments.

Cons

Limited treatments. Can be very chaotic when busy as clients are only 30 minutes and 10 minutes apart. Poor management. Poor employee morale in general. Not a great place to work. They feel it’s just a “stepping stone” kind of job.

Pros

Strong and unique brand concept - I was a member myself before working here and truly believed in the mission. Great place to learn a lot of different modalities. Although because of this, they rush through training, so you need to be able to keep up the pace and learn quickly in order to pass.

Cons

Pay is abysmal. No real incentives to sell product or bonus. Keep in mind that Glowbar attracts clients on a budget so majority of clients are not tipping the standard/suggested 18% gratuity. I did not like that the studio guides were not estheticians/licensed pros themselves because majority of them did not seem to understand how to properly ask for gratuity at checkout and because of this, the estheticians paychecks had to suffer. I worked at multiple stores and each had a completely different vibe based on the management. I'm a somewhat seasoned esthetician so a place like this was hard to work for where they micromanage every little thing that you do.
