AIRE Ancient Baths

I am trying to give this place a fair review; however, they have shown their true colors. The Managers/directors do not care about the staff; they only care about making money to collect their bonuses.  They do expect you to be able to stay past your shift or come before to help with them, since they are understaffed, without a second thought. The culture is a little mixed when the director (M) and front office manager (D) are gone, the energy is pleasant and can lead to some enjoyable times. However, when they are around, emotions are high, and everything is tense as they do not trust anyone. They are both very insecure about being respected and do not take feedback well. They are also ineffective at leading and managing people. Communication between the teams is not great and often leads to a lot of mistakes and mishaps, especially when it comes to the operation of how we work. They also love to give new Ideas a try but never execute them well, and I assume it's because they do not have the proper experience to be able to launch new ideas effectively to really see a result. Overall, this place is meh at best, if you do take this job, set the record straight with any boundaries and do not give them an inch, as they will take a mile. 

Massage manager cares a lot about her employees and the shifts are generally pretty full. That makes for a great paycheck, however, it doesn't leave much for the soul.

Some therapists don't seem to care much about cleanliness or sanitation. 
The building is constantly under maintenance. The dark environment is hard to work in constantly. How smoothly the shift runs depends heavily on who is supervising that day.  Lack of laundry and supplies.

Training is different depending on who trains you. Keeping a massage staff of about 60 on the same page is a challenge.  The process to request time off and find your own coverage is stressful and could be better if the company would be willing to invest in a platform where employees could coordinate themselves a little better. 

I enjoy my coworkers, having a decent schedule most of the time, and the fact that my manager tends to care a lot about us. The overall professionalism, standards, and management need a lot of improvement.

- I enjoy a typical day at work. It moves at a great pace and I like all the people I work alongside. 
- I’ve learned the importance of teamwork and communication. Everyone really does work as a team to give the guests a great experience at AIRE. 
- The workplace culture has been positive and friendly, and very professional. I feel supported by the management.
- The hardest part is hearing - on very rare occasion - when a guest encounters  a situation that negatively impacts their experience.
- The most enjoyable thing about my job is interacting with everyone, from my colleagues at the front desk, to the ones who are spread throughout the facility, as well as the guests who enter the space. Seeing people come out, having had a rejuvenating experience, is always mentally rewarding. 

Extremely busy all day for massage therapists. You get paid hourly, and then minimum wage for the little time you are not doing massages. The evening shifts are about 3:30 to 11:00 pm and the morning shifts are 8:00am or 9:00am to 4:00pm.  Many massage therapists get burned out because of the constant work-load, but If you want to work 80% of the time you are at the spa, you can do that at Aire.  You sometimes barely get a lunch break.  The pay is pretty good. Tips are excellent. The AC breaks sometimes, and then you are working in a hot room.  Also, almost all massages are couples massages. If you work with the same person who you don't like, every day, they don't care.  They have health insurance for people who work 30 hours a week or more.  They also have a 401k which is nice.  Most massages are Swedish rather than deep tissue.  If you want to be busy all day and you don't mind some challenges, you might like it! 

I worked there for three months. I only received two days of training, during which I learned how to greet clients and offer them water. After that, there was no proper training. Favoritism was common—some employees would arrive late and stay longer to make there time up, and the manager allowed favored employees to use their phone and computer for personal activities (in front of them)  while strictly limiting others to work-related use. The manager also made inappropriate comments and micromanaged. The schedule was chaotic, sent on Saturday night for the following week and changed multiple times sometimes. I was let go after three months for not showing improvement, which doesn’t make sense without proper training. Additionally, employees who reported issues were retaliated against and fired.

I loved working at Aire. As a massage therapist it was an easy schedule with consistent work. It was definitely busy but the pay was great. We were paid per massage plus hourly during the times we didn't have anything scheduled but it was almost a rarity to not have massages booked your entire shift. Not to mention the people at Aire are amazing, the therapist all help each other out, the links and attendants are super friendly and management is very personable. I never had any issues with getting time off when needed and if I had any concerns throughout the day I always felt comfortable just talking to management candidly and they would get things taken care of quickly. The only reason I left Aire was because I moved out of state but it really is a great place to work in my opinion.

Don't recommend anyone to work there. I went for locker room supervisor position and was told during my interview my schedule would be one but once you get in they want to change the whole schedule without confirming it with you and if you don't follow through they terminate you. Managers are never there to assist you there always on phone or facetiming others not doing their job. Don't even know how they get that position to begin with. Many employees call out more than once a week leaving you backed up from your job duties to fill in there's but yet there still employed. You may never miss a day of work and do your job correctly and still be terminated possibly due to jealousy or envy of others but those who miss work consistently are still there. Don't waste your time applying there if it has crossed your mind. 

I really enjoyed my time here! Money was great for what I was doing and the staff are very friendly! They offer a great service! A typical day at work would consist of lighting all the candles in the main entrance, I learned a lot of patience and that improved my customer service skills. Management we're great! The language barrier was really the only issue most of us had, but they were very friendly anyway! The hardest part of the job was updated reservations and calling some clients who made appointment weeks or even months in advance and having to cancel their appointment. The most enjoyable part of the job was going there every morning and knowing that your going to work with some cool people, and make New York a much more relaxed place!

This is a great place to become a better Massage Therapist because you will work on 4-7 clients per day. Most days are 3.5-5.25 hours of massage. The work environment can be fun if you enjoy people. You almost always work with another therapist in the same room as most massages are couple's massage. 

This is the type of place where you are strongly discouraged to take a day off for your well-being. If this happens frequently, say more than a few times a year, you may be fired. Never be late for a shift and don't expect to take two weekends off in one month- it is not allowed. No health benefits besides the optional Aflac. The pay is low $40s but do not expect an annual raise or growth in the company. 


A typical day at work consist of communicating with each other on task on hand , what was done on each shift , critical feedback on any type of machinery  malfunction that might occur or already has occurred , Learning everyday about our new building the coworkers inside of it  . Speaking with management everyday is a must and if they are not on site find out what management might want me to focus on while working in the facility. The hardest part of the job is just feeling each person out everyone has a different way of expressing themselves while working. The most enjoyable part of the job is to see our clients and our management team happy on how were managing the facility keeping it running at 100%  keeping it clean and safe for everyone entering the facility.
