Pros

A good commission system if they teach you what to say

Cons

I only worked there for a few months as it was the cattiest work environment I have ever been in. No one wanted to train me and just left me to sit and read a guide to the job while they went on with their own convos. I would get one work responses to all of my questions. Then they would just throw me into handling customers without checking in with me. Totally embarrassing. Never became comfortable or confident.

Pros

Great Money and the Waxers that’s it.

Cons

This place is run by a 20 year old that doesnt know anything about treating employees right and are cliquey. They degrade you and act like their so much better than you because their “managers”. Also they make up stupid excuses to fire you because they don’t like you or you don’t fit in. In my case this place accused me the only GSA that stook around for them when everyone was quitting because they reliazed they type of shady business ethics they had of stealing money because the MANAGERS deposit was short for the week, but of course it’s your Lead GSA fault right?? Theft is cause for immediate termination they waited two weeks and until a meeting to embarrass me as if to show a point FOR WHAT. They wouldn’t even show me the video so I went to unemployment and you know what they found NOTHING, no theft found. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS FRANCHISE or at least stores ran by that dumb manager. You can look at the review for the Hurst and Tyler store because their right.

Pros

Free waxing A good amount of clients.. most of the time. They are tons of centers, so you can very easily find a job.

Cons

The bottom line is, this company doesn’t treat you like you’re a licensed professional who went to school and is licensed by the state. They treat you like cattle. You have no say and your opinion doesn’t matter. You have no say in your book, your schedule or how the GSA fits people in the schedule. The motto is “ be seen now” that means, even if you don’t have enough time to perform the service correctly, you will be expected to do it. It’s ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. Nothing else matters, not the comfort of the guest or the sanity of the waxer. The commission is laughable... and that’s at the centers that still even offer commission. The company gave the franchisee owners the option to take away commission completely. Like I said, you are not treated like a professional. Taking away commission is an insult. This company exists bc franchisee owners have enough money to buy into it. ( they don’t need to have any experience or background in the industry at all and it shows) It’s a cash cow for them... at the expense of the people who do all the work. This is the reason the average life of a waxer is 18 months with this company. It takes about that long to be completely disgusted. I really wish the CEO and the Cobas actually read these reviews. I can only assume they don’t ( or if they do, they simply don’t care) because in my 6 years, nothing ever got better. It only got worse.
