Best place to grow - Esthetician TEN THOUSAND WAVES Employee Review

Beautiful massage rooms and spa, great colleagues, caring boss, flexibility in schedule, good pay for massage, wonderful spa treatments (though means rushing to do all the set-up/clean-up), free use of spa, steady work most of the year though there are surely slow times.

High pace, treatments are back to back, lots of deep-tissue massage requested by clients and spa expects you to deliver (hard on body), no benefits, lots of training required for spa treatments and spa protocol, all trainings you need to pay for out of pocket, tiring work that is hard to do long-term and not easy to earn enough to build any retirement on.

The management at Ten Thousand Waves itself, as well as the person who initially conducts the phone interview was wonderful.

- Extremely unprofessional people employed in the HR department that made applying for a job simply atrocious. - Professional references were called at 8pm and 9pm on a Tuesday, and no messages were left to convey who was calling or how to contact them in return. - HR personnel called me to tell me she did not believe I would make the drive to and from work. - Same HR personnel accused me of not informing my references that they would be called. (I had, they simply did not think a business would be calling them at 8 or 9pm.) - They also stated that they wanted me to get a reference that was available “right away” and when I told them I would reach out to people they said “I don’t want you to keep me on the phone” Overall this was such a horrid experience I withdrew my application immediately and will not be returning as a repeat customer or as someone seeking employee meant ever again.
