LICE CLINICS OF AMERICA

Very odd place to work. You're basically on call 12-13 hours a day. The owner will give you 1-2 hour notice that you need to be at work. While they're flexible with they're days/hours, being "on-call" constantly makes it hard to plan appointments for yourself, etc. 

You also have to get "certified" to use the machine they use to get rid of lice, but they let you treat people before certification, but you get paid less. 

The owner has 3-4 cameras set up around the salon and watches you constantly through them. 

There is a no cell phone policy. You are instructed to leave it in your car or put it in a drawer when you get to work. If you have children, this is not acceptable especially since they have no landline that goes to the salon that someone could call in case of an emergency. 

No breaks. 

Instead of being told what I was doing wrong or being told that it wasn't working out, the owner just stopped calling and setting appointments for me.

You are nothing more than a number to them. They do not care about you. The only thing they care about is money and turning a profit. I’m not even sure if they care about healing families dealing with a lice issue. With a high turnover rate of almost 30-40%, you quickly find out why that is the case. Management will gaslight you with any problems you bring to them. At my clinic in particular, the manager was of no help and only made the job much harder than it needed to be. It sucks when someone has the title of manager but they don’t act accordingly and only worry about their themselves. Upper management pushes the feel of “get them in, take their money, get them out.” Lower management blindly follows orders as long as they are taken care of. The job in itself was great. Management and the corporation feel is what made this job terrible. You can work independently and don’t have to take the pay cut or the terrible management that comes with it.

Great place but the management isn’t so great. The manager is never at the other locations just main office Encino and they have 4 locations. The great thing is your always on ur own doing things if your a self starter bad thing is they just installed cameras with voice so becareful what u say and do. You have to submit to on call availabilitie and it’s required to be there 15 min before appointments but ur not scheduled at that time only for the appointment. Ex: a 10 am scheduled appointment u have to arrive 15 min before at 945 mandatory but not scheduled. If it was that important it would also be scheduled to arrive 15 min. Might as well be scheduled at 945. You will get fired if u don’t show up on time with out warning or written notice. Everything is done by email.

I worked at Lice Clinics of America for two months and enjoyed how flexible the hours were, but could not tolerate the terrible management. Location managers talk badly about how other locations are run, employees are told off by older employees in front of customers, employees fight in front of customers and management gaslights you when you bring up concerns. Even though training is provided, there is no written training manual, there is no time to take notes of verbal instructions, and you are belittled for not remembering your brief training - which consists of being passed around to different trainers who are not informed about who has told you what...and who give you contradicting instructions. Lice Clinics of America is utter chaos.

They work around your schedule and everyone is extremely willing to help when it's needed. The manager and owner are both wonderful and truly listen to everyone's concerns and questions. It's also frequently a fun place of work as long as you have a good attitude. The pay is nice for the work, but there aren't really benefits available and it's not consistent. You never know when a lice outbreak will happen, so you'll have days that are dead and days that you're booked all day long. This is perfect for a second or third job or for working through school. It's not best for primary/full-time employment. All-in-all I love working for LCA and don't plan to leave any time soon.

Will lead with, if you do not want to work 15hr days MARK OUT YOUR SCHEDULE. I worked many a 12-15 hour day without a lunch break while employed here. Sonia is very understanding of personal life and issues that can arise out of your control though and will work with you. The pay is very nice when business is busy but can be almost non existent when the clinic slows down. Sonia does try to accommodate for this but can only do so much. Overall I enjoyed working here. When it comes to scheduling, no shows and late arrivals can be a nightmare and there’s currently no policy in place to deter it. I had many clients show up over half way through their appointments and was told to still accommodate them. Training is pretty good and you do have a list of people to call should something happen. 

I am a clinician at the new Encino location, and I love my job!  You are on an on-call schedule, but  the manager is so organized and follows schedules to give you enough time to get your appointment.  We also get to help children and their families dealing with an unfortunate situations.  LCA offers the best and most effective (99.2% effective in eliminating head lice and their eggs) treatment out there.  Both the manager and owner are probably the most empathetic, professional, and organized bosses I have ever had. The hardest part of the job is being on your feet all day, but anyone who has worked retail or food service will find that this is a walk in the park, plus you get to help others.  It is very fulfilling and enjoyable work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Create your own schedule & making customers happy. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management, no breaks, no support from other employees due to understaff & underpaid. The position is 98% standing and bending, history of causing spinal/back conditions to previous employees. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
50% gratifying due to servicing clients. 50% physically & mentally draining. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
No down time; You go in, clean up if necessary, prep for your appointment/s, do assessments & treatments if necessary, clean & document/complete paperwork. You’re allowed 1 hour of clean up so must be quick & efficient.

I have only been working for LCA for almost a year and I can say the others jobs I have had this one by far is the best. The employees are great to work with and the management team is wonderful. It is a healthy balance in work life and normal life. The management team is very understanding when it comes to having emergencies and is willing to accommodate with you and help with scheduling and does not discredit you in the process when any form of emergencies occur.  It is a true blessing to be able to work for company that is family orientated and is understanding 

Everything depends on who your franchiser is. Mine was great! She was willing to pay well and work around my school schedule.  Your work as a team. Compassion and caring is a must for this job. Hardest part of the job is when a parent brings in a child to be treated and can not afford to treat themselves. You know you are fighting a losing battle. You will kill and remove the lice from the child but they will become re-infested. Do not worry about getting lice yourself. Pay attention to work protocols and you will be fine
