Free skin care samples can't compensate for poor work environment - Medical Assistant Berman Skin Institute Employee Review

Learn about different skin conditions.

Very busy, not enough time to train and practice before you are thrown into a room with a patient.

Great coworkers. Most cosmetic patients are usually pleasant. Derm providers are always referring patients for esthetician treatments. Good for building professional relationships in the industry. Esthi services are straightforward, no fluff.

Management views estheticians as support staff rather than service providers. You get forced into working front desk whenever you’re not with a patient. Even when you’re busy with patients, still a lot of admin work involved. Incredibly difficult to get backbar products, new supplies/equipment etc. There is almost no continuing education, no opportunities to expand and improve your skills. The company is slow to add new esthetician treatments, leaving you with an outdated service menu. Hourly pay and commission percentage is very low compared to competitors. High turnover rate.
