Great place to gain some money while as student

Business Outlook

Pros

As Guest Service Coordinator, it was great having a part-time while going to university. Cool place to work, commission for selling packages. Promotions and time-off/flexibility depends on your specific store.

Cons

Sometimes dramatic in terms of guests freaking out over waxes (especially first timers). It's not a big deal but sometimes gets annoying. Your experience really depends on your manager, whether or not they are a good manager.

You will learn to wax, hours are good, set schedule, the products work well, beautiful working environment, co-workers are friendly and encouraging

Cons

no benefits, not guest satisfaction centralized, they lie about how much you will make, commissions are lower and corporate minimums are higher than most other spa companies

Great potential for growth if you can sell sell sell

Guest service associate

Business Outlook

Pros

Hourly pay, plus commission, plus bonuses. You make what you put into it. Great opportunity to meet amazing people (customers and employees). There are scripts for every imaginable situation which pretty much do your job for you. Corporate is very active in the company. The company takes pride in what they do and the products actually work.

Cons

Highly sales driven. There are sales goals you must meet each pay period. Some centers give hours to employees based on how much they can make the company so hours and paychecks can be somewhat inconsistent. You sales and if you are passing or failing are often posted for everyone to see and management often promotes competition within departments.
