Pros

after my experience I really see none

Cons

went through2 "interviews...was hired, I thought.. was required to go through 7 days of training 21 miles away (1 way) paid for parking $25 per day bought shoes $60.... then after 5 days was told that" because I was older" than the trainer and my manager... It would be "difficult" for me to take direction from a "younger "person... and that I didn't follow direction well... In fact this trainer kept tell us one thing (the corporate way) and then showing us her way.. very confusing .. IT'S JUST WAXING NOT BRAIN SURGURY .... in the end I'm grateful I'm not working for EWC after reading all of these reviews.. Best of Luck

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.
