Pros

Absolutely nothing about this place was a positive experience

Cons

Want to work at a place were you are treated like literal garbage by not just the guests who come in, but also but management, look no further! I was forced to work alone for 10 hours at a time without a break, and was essentially given the same responsibilities as a GSA, but with a fancier title. This place allows not just the associates up front to be abused by guests, but the waxers as well. The drama is so intense it’s like going back to high school all over again. Any issues that are brought up to upper management is completely dismissed, and the district manager and franchise owner disregards every associate and waxer there when they come into the center. I would never recommend working at this company to anyone.

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.
