Ideal Image Non Compete

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hi,

Ive been looking at Ideal Image for an aesthetic career. While talking to the recruiter he mentioned a non-compete. I don't have any experience with this. Are there any nurses/former nurses that have experience with Ideal Image and a non-compete? I'd love to know the experiences and what their non-compete involves. The only things I can find online about non-compete's don't sound positive. However, they have a very generous training program. Thanks in advance.

nice work

Non-competes generally state that you can't work for a competitor within a certain geographical range for a certain period of time after leaving your job.

I had to sign one for my last company (home infusion). In many cases, they are unenforceable. It depends on the state and the position. My last job was as a home infusion liaison. Several of my former colleagues left and went right to work for another home infusion pharmacy and were likely in violation of their non-competes. No action was ever taken against them. I know the company tried against one but legal said they didn't have a case because the former employee was working in a different role and the non-compete didn't apply to what her role at the new company was and in that role she was allowed to do what she was doing. I know of several other people who went from liaison at one company to another and were in direct competition with their former employers but I don't know if the original employer ever tried to enforce the non-competes. From what I heard at that job, non-competes more make prospective employers not want to hire you than anything else.

Did you end up taking the job with ideal image? How are you liking it?
