Pros

The only real pro of this company is that you get free waxes, which is nice.

Cons

It's easy to get hired and just as easy to get fired. I got fired during training week because my manager said I didn't seem interested in learning my script. It was complete nonsense. I think it is so stupid how they make you memorize a script and do everything their way. Stay far away.

Pros

First job, good training . People I worked with we're nice.

Cons

Low pay, low comp. promised one amount hourly, when check came, it was for much lower. Apparently we all misunderstood. We we told we could stay or leave if we didn't like it . I worked so hard . It got very slow. I was pulled into a room after work one day and my manager Said, I have to get rid of a few people and you are one! I was shocked !

Pros

Incredible training IF (and that is IF) you went through it for a week with the corporate trainers and that only happens if a new center is opening. Immaculate facility, really nice products to use and they are very reasonably priced. If the GS is knowledgeable about the importance of rebooking, they can really assist you in getting guests to rebook

Cons

Management, including the owner, need to be well informed about the business of Esthetics. To think that it's just a business, is incredibly ignorant. How can you invest an enormous amount of money and not be informed about what you are investing in? You are expected to learn scripts about EVERYTHING from how you speak to your guests, to the products. They tell you they are NOT pushing products or packages, but that is ALL it is about. Honestly, they really are not concerned with whether the guest has a quality experience with the waxer, although the scripts have them ask each guest when they come out from their service, they are much more concerned about selling packages and products. The management will fault the WAXER if guests are no shows, telling you that you obviously did not establish a good relationship with them and that is why there are no shows. The reality is it is the responsibility of the front desk and/or manager who is usually working at the front to make confirmation calls, which often does not happen and that is the real reason why. If your rebooking percentage is high consistently, it is NOT the waxers' issue, but the lack of confirming calls. You must fully drink their kool-aid. Management and corporate do not want to hear anything that is considered "negative" TO THEM. During your weekly meetings they will ask if you have any questions or concerns, but they are never open to hearing anything that is not POSITIVE. If have to fill out forms on their intranet for anything from telling them they need to order back stock to booking errors to time off. It is like connnecting to a voice recording system and never getting a live body
