Massage Envy reviews

Congrats! My biggest piece of advice is to get your state certification asap. For example, when I was looking for a job I was 19 years old. If this wasn't crappy enough I'm also a male massage therapist. Something that not alot of people realize is that there's usually a cap on how many males can work at a clinic at one time. This being said there can only be 4 males at my clinic, and there's about 25 females. Since I had my state cert, they didnt have to check to see if I was eligible to be working in the area of my current clinic, and I beat out multiple other male applicants to get the job FRESH out of school. A secondary piece of advice: Be confident all the time. People can really tell and your tips will be alot better.

I personally take it as a complement if people fall asleep on my table. Though I should mention my primary form of massage is very deep, most people couldnt fall asleep if they tried. I don't know a single therapist who doesn't appreciate when a client has some sort of input on the pressure. Everyone is differant when it comes to how much they can handle, and until we have some point of referance the massage can feel like a crapshoot.

I have never gotten a *** from massaging an attractive client, I stay far too busy to even notice half the time. Not to mention its very dark in these rooms and they lay face down. I dont know if i've ever gotten a chick wet, but a girl HAS left period blood all over my table before (if that counts) I've never gotten a date from a client, but i've never asked either. You'd get fired for that sort of thing and I have too much to lose/a wonderful girlfriend.

Pro: It's a very gratifying job, pays well (for my age), you gain alot of perspective from having ample time to talk to people you wouldnt ordinarily have conversations with. Con: You feel like your hands are going to fall off at any moment after awhile, creepers are ever present, my anxiety has gotten worse since I spend all day in a dark room in silence, I have very little time for myself, if someone doesnt like your massage right away you're stuck with them for 90 minutes.

Most of the staff is friendly

Not shown exactly what to do, you’re just thrown into the position and forced to ask other employees to assist you with what you need. I worked there for an entire two weeks using the wrong lotion for massage because I wasn’t showed which lotion was the correct one to use. Also, scheduling their clients in a manner that doesn’t allow time for the therapist time to make the table, get a drink of water, or use the bathroom is not thinking of your therapist health as this will eventually lead to burn out.

Giving each of my clients a massage that gave them the relief their body needed to feel good til their next appointment or close to it.

It’s a steady paycheck that’s predictable each pay period. They will keep you booked.

The pay is under market, so it’s a high volume arrangement if you want to make enough to get by and can be very draining.

free monthly massages and continuing education benefits

I mean my coworkers were on

Management definitely picks their favorites and if you don't sell memberships you can get fired.

Management is great (though it depends because they're franchised) and it's a relatively easy job.

Customers can be rude, sales goal memberships.

Free 60-minute service each month with discounted/membership prices for additional services. Family and friends are able to come in for membership rates as well!

The franchise I work for with Massage Envy has been accommodating and supportive with me.

High-maintenance clients.

Discounts on services and products.

There are nice people that work there.

Too much work to do for one person, sometimes it can be too busy where you don’t get your tasks done.

Discount massages.

There is flexibility in the scheduling.v

Very toxic work environment with unprofessional coworkers. You are pushed to make sales on their membership program which, post-covid, I was not as comfortable pushing if they said they don't want it.

Discounted services

Good clientele base, benefits, clients are scheduled for you, great environment, very busy, very reputable

Low pay

Over worked there employees. You will work on 90 mins massages most of the day and sometimes wont be get no lunch break.

Very good paycheck

Amazing atmosphere and easy to work alongside fellow employees

Location

Utilizing the services offered

The people made it a fun place to work.

The owner just didn’t care enough about his employees

I really like most of my clients and how consistently booked I am.

Pay is lowest I've ever worked for. Lots of drama between employees. Management doesnt always handle issues that great.

The free massage a month.

Helping others and physical job

Massage Envy corporation trying to tell me how best to do my job. Standardizing massages that need to be unique for each individual client.

I love the atmosphere and the body work I am allowed to perform for my Guest.

Good work life balance, close to home,

Hourly pay, not enough tasks, sitting a lot.

Close to home, regular massage/facials

Some good coworkers depending on the location. Some coworkers are welcoming and supportive.

Pay is low, managers are disorganized and incompetent, employees do not care about the well-being of the employees or customers. They care about making money.

Discounts on products.

We are not that kind of place lol. A professional massage clinic, not a ~massage~ place.

I like it! Flexible with my schedule, allows me to do homework at the same time as working since theres a lot of down time, and I enjoy my coworkers!

Actually, last week, I had a lady who was talking to me and told me she didnt wear a bra. Then she came out of session and was walking out the door to leave when her therapist ran out and said she forgot something.... it was her undies...
