Pros

The people that work here are nice. The background of the therapists brings a calming, holistic element to working at massage envy. It was an easy way to make an extra $150 dollars a week.

Cons

There is no growth opportunity. From the inside it seemed like the asst. Managers who were making $10 per hour did all of the work for the manager that was making more then double that. There are so many rules to follow and scripts to memorize. With everything I was expected to do (which seemed like everything!) I was not appreciated and often deceived.

Pros

I can not think of any pros and that will never change. Just find a better place to work and don’t submit to a corporate contract that has the potential to last 10 years in some circumstances.

Cons

As a therapist, I experienced very unethical work situations including front desk and management lying to clients about me being injured due to mistakes they made in scheduling. At one point the location I worked at had a big roach infestation where I had a roach run a crossed my massage table before brining a client back. As I said before, not this place isn’t clean. It was so bad I witnessed a former employee walk out over it. Massage envy has a 6 page, very unethical non compete that you have to sign before working. Parts of it says I can not work with any former co workers for 10 years after leaving. It states after leaving your unable to work in your home county. I witnessed multiple therapist leave go work a mile down the road from massage envy and work with 3 former coworkers all in one spa. The treatment I faced when I left was the most unfair, unethical, unprofessional experience I will ever have. And now, a month after I’ve left, the owner is asking I sign more paperwork limiting me even more…. Not to mention the drama between co workers being ridiculous and management allows therapist to go out the back door and smoke pot and then it smell smells in the clinic. Incident reports were made, but nothing was ever done to that therapist. Never, never work at any massage franchise especially this place.

As a whole, we believe franchisees aim to deliver a positive experience to their employees and we recognize that you didn't feel you received that. Locations are independently owned and operated, so the employment experience that each provides is unique. If you'd like to share any additional details with us via email to meemployeebrand@MassageEnvy.com, we'll pass them along to the franchisee.
