Pros

Before working for EWC, I had done much research on the company thru glassdoor, indeed, etc.. I was a little frightened to be quite honest, there were a lot of horrible reviews. I had got a call back from the store manager and said " hey, just go and see for yourself." I had interviewed at a few wax places and honestly felt the best vibes from EWC. So when I got a call back, I decided to take the position. My first week was pretty intense, your learning all the protocols and like any other job, it can get overwhelming. But if you really pay attention and execute what you learn, you will be successful. I can say I am very happy I took the position, it's been about a month since I started and do not regret anything. My manager is super supportive, my trainer was/is so helpful, which I can say about the whole team. So long story short, if you put in the work, you can make a lot of money....

Cons

If you do not like people, this job is not for you! It is all about building relationships with your guests!! You don't get a lunch break on some days, but the time goes by so quick you don't really notice, and if you bring food you can sneak some bites in between guests.

Pros

Great coworkers, supportive team environment, loyal clients, and valuable opportunities to develop professional skills.

Cons

I’d like to raise some concerns about communication and fairness. We are asked to communicate everything, yet often our messages go unanswered or are met with a negative attitude. There is also a sense of favoritism in time-off approvals. Last-minute scheduling changes have disrupted my plans due to lack of notice. I’ve been incorrectly scheduled due to miscommunication, and I’ve had intense shifts without reasonable breaks. Additionally, our manager consistently arrives later than anyone, often when clients are waiting to pay, yet she gives attitude to others for minor delays. On top of that, product management is often last-minute. We run out of supplies like products, creams, or paper, and it only gets addressed when urgent, forcing us to scramble between rooms. I’m bringing these concerns forward because I hope for a more consistent, supportive, and equitable work environment for all of us.
