Business Outlook

Pros

Good work-life balance due to mostly part-time being the only one available Lower side of decent technique training

Cons

Company heavily values quantity over quality Company claims opportunities for raises are abundant but metrics required to qualify for said raises are unrealistic You are constantly pressured to move up levels (be faster) This specific center did not offer commission for the waxes but the front desk associates got bonuses for the wax passes they sold. The center manager at the time of my employment bragged to me about getting a $1,000 bonus. Overall treatment of waders and environment needs a lot of improvement Waxers are not paid what they are worth. This specific center only paid us minimum wage. It was often lower than most fast food establishments
