Pros

The guest's are AMAZING. Your co workers are your family. The products are fantastic. The wax is the best out there. There is always an outreach "program" for tips and tricks as well as any other questions you might have involving EWC or waxing. Training (when done right) is thorough and a huge help to anyone waxing. Pay is decent. You are given a clientele.

Cons

Management uses corporate as a shield. They have blackout dates for holidays so if you want to go home for the holidays forget it. Getting any shifts covered is tedious. Numbers numbers numbers numbers. Their main focus is numbers and hitting goals to benefit the managers with peanuts for kudos to workers. Estrogen is rampant and heaven forbid if you offend one of your coworkers it turns into a catty situation. Even if your numbers are good you still have to be careful of backstabbing. Training is TOUGH and not for the weak. Your books will get messed up. The company will not look out for you. You are on your own in regards to a guest coming after you and your license. If you bring any guests with you make it clear who they are or you will have a lawsuit on your hands.

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.
