Working at Massage Envy in Goleta, CA: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Goleta, CA Area

"I've only worked for ME for about 4 months but it's long enough for me to see how much they don't care about not only their employees, but their customers as well. I get paid minimum wage, which is understandable because the location I work at is not very busy. However, we share a manager with another location near by and that manager never seems to want to get anything done. I have customers calling regularly talking about how they just want to get a hold of a manager but she never returns their phone calls or emails. Some members have reported turning in cancellation forms for their memberships but still being charged even six months later. I've even heard from other employees that they have witnessed the manager literally yell and scream at customers who irritated her. This manager is long gone, but the real problem here is that the owner knows all of this, and doesn't seem to care. The manager left of her own accord, not because the owner fired her or even talked to her about her behavior. Multiple times I tried to get a hold of the manager (she spends a total of three hours a week at our location) and she wouldn't answer the phone or text me back, so one day when I needed a quick response to a question I emailed the owner who got back with me promptly. Not ten minutes later did I get a call from the manager who yelled at me for "bothering" the owner. Well, I hate to break it to you, but since YOU never respond, I went above your head like anyone else would. The assistant manager does less than nothing and gets mad when you don't clean up after her. No leading by example. The perks here are essentially zero as well. I've never had a real massage, and I'd like to be able to recommend a therapist to customers and know what I'm talking about, but in order to get a free massage, you have to sell an unreal amount of product and memberships in a month's time. Don't waste your time here."
