Pros and Cons of a Corporate Massage

​After going through the training as a massage therapist, a lot of people are torn between starting their own spa and working in an already established spa. Below are the pros and cons of being employed as a massage therapist in an already established spa:
Pros

• You do not have to find clients as the spa is already established and has clients who come at specific times for their massage.
• The spa owner will be responsible for scheduling appointments, paying the bills and ensuring that the machines are in good working condition.
• You will be working within specific hours and as a result, you will be able to plan your daily activities. This is unlike private practice where you will go by the time that the client is available.
• The spa owner will be responsible for the payment of taxes and you will not have to worry if it has been paid or not.

Cons

• The massage rates will be set by the spa owner and you will not have a say in how much you will be earning for the provision of massage services.
• You will have to work on the client allocated to you since you are working under the authority of the spa owner.
• You will have to plan your day according to what the spa has indicated in the operation of the spa.
• The spa owner decides the modalities that will be followed during the massage.

When you are employed as a massage therapist in an established spa, you will have the benefit of having ready clients every time you go to work. You will also avoid paying bills and incurring extra expenses as these will be catered for by the spa owner. However, you will have to abide by the rules set at that spa and the amount of money you will earn from the massage will be determined by the spa owner. You will also be forced to work on any client who is allocated to you unlike private practice when you will have the benefit of choosing your clientele.
