Pluspunten

-You can tan for free -"Perks" -Friendly environment -If you have a pretty face, you will get hired. -They sell a high-demand service, so people will buy from you no matter what.

Minpunten

-Shady management: Avoided paying bonuses, benefits, and commission checks for managers. Many fantastic managers are fired for "incompetence" when really, all they are trying to do is pay the promised bonuses and benefits. -Misleading: This company was notorious for promising starting salaries and positions and trying to stick them in entry level. I was promised to be paid $10/hr and they stuck me with $8. I knew of a manager who was interviewed to be a manager, promised such a position right away, and then they stuck her in entry level without notifying her of the change. -Long and needless training: I came in with a glowing sales record and amazing sales-floor familiarity. They keep you off of the sales floor until you memorize "sales pitch scripts" verbatim (unnecessary). All they had to do was give me a list of the products and tanning beds with their information, and I would have been fine. -Very, very few employees with this company are actually fit for the sales world.

Pluspunten

It is a real sales job, so if you can deal with the extremely high standards of multitasking: ie detailing, cleaning, bed maintainence, auditing and membership and product knowledge; it does look good on your resume. You have the opportunity to network yourself to clients when you build your rapport- so if sales isn't quite for you, there may be someone who can hook you up elsewhere, but don't count on it.

Minpunten

A good amount of fines are delegated in this company! They take it out of you commissions, normally 5 bucks for a mistake. When all is said and done, even in busy season, you can make about 4% of what you bring in the company. A lot is expected of you for a very minimal payment. Management and the owner are both sales pros and know how to pay very little for their high expectations, but make it seem as though all is fair. The smart ones realize this and leave- creating an extremely high turnover rate. Membership sales need to be explained carefully- there are tons of customer service issues with the way it's explained. Overall it feels like a labor camp sometimes. There are days at some locations where you don't have a chance to eat and you don't ever really stop moving for long hours. You are expected to have a checklist complete by the end of the night- sometimes you will be at the store for and hour or more.
