Pros

Costumers were wonderful and great to talk to. Products are great and all natural as well. Wax was the best I've ever experienced.

Cons

Horrible manager. Most people there were completely fake. I was asked to lie to costumers in order to get my sales up. The worst experience was when I had a very ill grandfather while I worked there. He was rushed to the hospital I called out of work so I could be by his side. I went into work the next day even though he was still sick because I felt like I would get fired if I didn't. When my manager came in she asked to speak to me and she said "if this is gonna be a thing like if he's gonna die and you need time off I need you to take care of that now. You need to find coverage, you can not call out like that." I was absolutely taken back. Not to mention I had never felt welcomed there in my entire employment so asking for coverage was difficult because everyone was all about "well if I take your shift can you take mine?" Absolutely unreal. I would not recommend solely because of how un-welcomed I felt as well as the lack of respect.

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.
