Pros

Small start up company so you get insight to other companies and can get involved and take on as much work as you can handle.

Cons

Not only do they EXPECT you to work 60+ hours a week, there is no way you can work less given there is only 5 people in the corporate office running the show. There is zero training, you are thrown to the dogs and either sink or swim. Even if you can push through, there is never going to be light at the end of the tunnel. They will always expect more. The review below mine stating they hire very smart people to drive their process, suck everything they can from you and then fire you once they have your role outsourced, is completely accurate. I should have seen the warning signs when the internal employees boasted of the high turnover and said I was "lucky" to be there. The owner is not very involved, just collects checks from afar. The franchisees are SUPER unhappy but legally bound so it's only a matter of time before this company turns belly up.

Pros

I have worked with Seva for almost a year and as I look back, I can genuinely say that it has exponentially reciprocated what I have put into the company. I immediately worked hard to earn the trust of my leaders and as a result, have been given the freedom to develop and execute programs that enrich the lives of our franchisees. People rarely get the opportunity to be inspired on a daily basis. People rarely get the chance to see their ideas implemented on a national scale. Many people will never know what it feels like to respect the people they work for and be respected in return. I have been given these gift at Seva. Coming to work everyday has been an absolute joy for me. I am fortunate to be part of a work environment that provides me the unique balance of independence and the support I need. The company is lead exceptionally and is expanding on all levels because of this. It should be noted that I am generously compensated for my contributions. However, even more significant than money, I feel that I am recognized as a valuable part of the team. Seva is an up and coming franchise in the industry. I am confident that we will continue to produce great salons and spas for our customers to visit and great franchises for our Partners to own. If they continue to treat their corporate employees as they do, there is no limit to where we will go. Anyone would be lucky to be a part of Seva's corporate team, I know I am.

Cons

If you are afraid of hard work, this is not the position for you!
