I am interested in working on a steiner cruiseship, However I have had so many mixed reports from people. I know it is hard work but is steiner a good company? Is the work really like slavery? And is the money good?

Can any one help??

Thanks in advance

Ps. What is it like working as a therapist?

Steiner just bought out our spas and I just want to say that within a year our salary was cut TWICE!!! This company raised the price of our services to then turn around and cut our pay!! Not to mention, they added longer work weeks and business hours in addition to more techs now our books are practically empty. We are commission based employees only so we basically work for free!!! They capped our commission and we only get a raise every 3 years!!! YOU ARE UP FOR A RAISE ONLY IF YOU FALL UNDER A CERTAIN TIER!!! THE COMMISSION HAS BEEN BROUGHT DOWN TO 26% from 30% in one year!!! THEY HAVE ALSO REQUIRED US TO PAY MORE ON OUR HEALTHCARE! This company is pure evil, their response is if you don't like it leave. When they cut our pay the first time an employee asks if execs pay were cut as well and she was reamed by human resources and the regional manager for mentioning it. I hope steiner execs burns in hell. They use fear tactics to manage employees and treat us like second class disposable citizens. We are nothing but slaves for them.

Agreed! Worst company ever - was actually voted as such a few years back. Young people working like dogs for 7.5 commission.... wish id have looked into reviews on it before I went! They are ruthless - they lost a contract on a very big cruise line whilst i was there and I hope they lose many more! My cruise had a target of $100,000, so if you divide that by 7.5% then all they pay out to staff is $13,333 - the $87,000 is practically full profit for them! And that is every FIVE days....
