Pros

You don't have to worry about finding clients since they come to you, they pay for advertising, your cards and supplies. You will likely build amazing relationships with your guests and coworkers

Cons

Micromanaging, have to constantly sell products and upsell services at all times and if you miss your monthly goals you get written up. You also have a metric system to hit and if you dont make those, you get written up. The company cares very little about you and your well being, they only view you as a dollar sign and nothing else. You are basically their cash cow and if you aren't making them any income then you are worthless and if you need to call out for an family related issues (death, kids sick etc.) well good luck because they will make you feel bad for doing so. The pay is also a joke, for the amount of schooling and training the wax specialists deserve to be paid WAY more. The fact that you essentially make $2 per $60 Brazilian is ridiculous. Cost of living is sky rocketing, get with the times and treat your employees better, they are HUMAN not machines.

Toxic Environment

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

-Remote work option -Raffle draws (sometimes) -Average Pay

Cons

-No work life balance, I say again, NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. -Definitely not a place for family people. -Upper management from Accounting department is very annoying. Would yell at you, make fun of you instead of helping if you don’t understand anything. -Don’t give a damn whether you’re a new or an old employee, you have to know everything without getting trained. -Would lie in the interview about being transparent while they are not at all. -PTO is offered but they make sure you can’t use them. -Employees are talking crap behind the management but afraid to say that to their face. -Really high turnover rate.

Pros

-Pay was okay -Opportunity to WFH -Prizes from raffle draws (only if you're lucky enough)

Cons

-Extremely long hours -Discriminates employees if they don't satisfy the upper management -Toxic environment (not sure about other departments, but the accounting department was horrible) -Too much micromanaging from the upper level causes delays in finishing the job which they hate but keep repeating the same thing over and over. -Will make you forget about your family by leaving you with tons of works every day (weekends included) -PTOs are just so-called
