If it weren't for favoritism and heartless management it would be a good job. - Wax Specialist European Wax Center Employee Review

Pros

Fun. You get to meet new people all the time. Great coworkers.

Cons

Not steady consistent pay. Winters are slower so pay is less. Poor management. You're just treated as a pack mule. You're only good for them if you are making money for them and hit their sometimes unrealistic goals. No vacation time ans very strict on sick days. Not understanding of emergency's at all, I never missed a day and the one day I do because of a family member was dying when I came back they cut my hours by a day. While other girls would call in sick all the time because they were hung over and would not suffer any consequences. Favoritism was a big part of my center.

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.
