Atticus-Franchise-Group

Atticus Franchise Group is a company that truly embodies servant leadership, balancing strong core values with a results-driven mindset. Leadership here isn’t just about meeting goals. It’s about investing in people, empowering teams, and fostering a culture of growth.

One of the standout aspects of Atticus is the genuine commitment to developing the next generation of leaders and business professionals. The time and resources dedicated to education, mentorship, and hands-on learning opportunities are unmatched. Whether through leadership training, business development discussions, or real-world coaching, there is a clear focus on preparing individuals for long-term success, not just their current roles.

Atticus is both value-based and results-driven, ensuring that business success is achieved through ethical leadership, teamwork, and accountability. Empowerment is at the core of the company’s approach. Leaders trust and equip their teams to make decisions, take ownership, and contribute in meaningful ways. This creates an environment where people feel valued, heard, and motivated to bring their best every day.

If you're looking for an organization that not only drives business success but also invests in its people, Atticus Franchise Group is an outstanding place to grow, learn, and lead.

I have worked as a massage therapist at the Roseville, MN franchise location.

Atticus knows nothing about massage therapy, how therapists build relationships with the clients and how to effectively lead and manage a location without losing employees.

Expect sub-standard wages, below par raises (like 10-15 cents per session) , little to no actual effective training, no leadership from either Atticus or the location clinic manager, high turnover in the front desk staff, poor and poorly paid out incentives to get you to work more hours and a host of other things just to make you say no. They will make you sign a non compete and an arbitration agreement in order to work there.

Atticus does not have your back as a therapist, Esti or front desk associate. They do not know how to effectively manage employees in an industry that relies on specific wellness educated employees to work it.

I left becuase I got tired of being short changed and not heard. They listen up good but don't hear. They just don't do anything about it.

Like others here, I do NOT recommend working for Atticus as a franchised employee. It's not worth the effort, and honestly, there are better paying massage gigs out there. 

I've had the privilege of working at Atticus Franchise Group, and it's truly been an incredible experience. The company fosters a collaborative and high-performance culture where innovation, teamwork, and leadership are valued at every level.

It is a great place to work for those who are passionate about growth, collaboration, teamwork, and making a positive impact on the communities we serve. The dynamics of the team first mindset show up through all the interactions at every level of the organization.

JEM Brands Crunch is creating something special with ensuring all team members embody the attributes of Duty, Drive, Dare, and Dream as the company grows.

I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a challenging yet rewarding career in a fast-paced, people-centric culture!

The company projects itself as a people first organization with an emphasis on employee culture and hard work. However the company often dismissed crucial employee concerns, does not offer competitive wages and expects employees to regularly perform tasks outside of the scope of work. Alignment on core processes and strategy is a consistent struggle as poor roll outs and lack of training regularly sets middle management into crisis mode. For expecting parents the parental leave policy is tricky and unpaid, no floating holidays, required to be on call 24/7 (next to impossible to have a life/work balance), remote work is rarely approved even though majority of job can be completed remotely, required to use PTO for bereavement leave as it is often not covered under benefits, general apathy towards retaining managers and critical staff.

I was a relatively successful massage therapist at a Massage Envy clinic that was bought by Atticus Group.  They required us, as a condition of employment, to sign what they called an "Arbitration Agreement".  This document essentially waived our rights and protections should there ever be a dispute between Atticus Group and any employee.  It severely hampered any ability of an employee to keep Atticus accountable for their business practices, and they were completely non-negotiable on any details of this document.  It was lumped in with all the other hiring paperwork, and we were all rushed to sign everything and not actually read this very important document.  Needless to say, I quit over this, and will never go back.

I would never recommend ANYONE work for Atticus, and I absolutely hate the idea of their company gaining influence in the massage industry.

Atticus has a very high priority on performance, but not the scope of reality or support to get there. Very numbers-focused, with most levels of management having more tasks to complete than is feasible, which leaves staff feeling unsupported - this trickles down to every level! Not reasonable pay for any position, with the focus on acquiring new locations rather than using resources to support the staff already with the company. This is true of keeping clients as well. They ask for feedback but do not take the advice, which leaves staff feeling like they are all words, no action. Little to no work-life balance, as clinic managers are on call 24/7, and it is tough to find the balance of trying to keep staff without becoming a doormat just to stay sufficiently staffed! Would not recommend.

They talk a very big game.  Their name is based on the character in "to catch a mockingbird".. I'm not making that up.   Now that we know Harper Collins wrote a "pre-sequil", we can now ask the question "which Atticus Finch"?  Are we talking about the classic To kill a mockingbird, Finch, or Go Set A Watchman, Finch?

From the way I was treated,  I'd say the latter.  This is an investment company,  a bunch of Burger King exec's, who have a fast food idea, on how to run a Maaco shop.

Time and time again,  they've been proven wrong.   It's only a matter of time before, they too, cash out. 

Don't believe a word they say.  They speak out of both sides of their mouth.

If I had to characterize, I would say lack of leadership is the big downfall. It’s a company that focuses heavily on profits over people because means the C-suite isn’t handling the day to day fallout from business decisions that effect the bottom line ie price raises etc. Corporate doesn’t like their phone number or email given out and employees are left out to dry dealing with angry customers with questions that are not able to be legitimately answered to their satisfaction.

In my 3 years here I've had 4 different clinic managers and countless front desk associates. I've watched the run-around corporate gives both them AND my peers. The COVID "protections" are a joke, the pay is mediocre. 

Atticus management requires you to work well over the legal required hours a week all while paying you next to nothing! There is no upper management support mainly cause they don’t know how to use their own programs but fully expect you to “respect” them. They pay you enough to barely cover bills....sometimes..and not enough to be able to leave. Oh and be warned if your applying for management, the bonuses they speak of... will not happen so don’t bank on it. I wouldn’t send my worst enemy to work for them. Problem starts right at the top of the chain.
