Pros

MONEY, and thats it. I made good money here but you felt every drop of it. A lot of my co workers were friendly but the competitive atmosphere made me uncomfortable.

Cons

Extremely high turnover rate. In my 6 months there I witnessed 5 fires. Don't expect to keep this job unless you're perfect. Also questionable cleaning practices.

Pros

great discount on waxing that they just changed (50% for GSA) can get free waxing if you're friends with the waxers great hours flexible scheduling can make a lot if you sell packages bonuses

Cons

disgustingly corporate scripts are more strict at certain centers, if yours is one where they love scripts watch out drama, drama, drama.. all girls in a center is not great huge lack of respect for employees amongst management

Pros

Friendly work environment, loyal customer base, great customer incentives, flexible scheduling, great training, discounted services, decent commission and base pay.

Cons

Long, overly-aggressive scripts you MUST use on every customer - it gets old. No health benefits, unreasonable sales goals.
