Pros

You can make a lot of money, I make average $3500 a month. You get free waxing Build great relationships with guests and coworkers, better relationships = more money The working hours are really nice. Opening 7:45-2 Closing 2-8 (Mon and Tues) 2-9 (Wed-Fri) Saturday is 8-6 BUT the money on those days are amazing, and Sunday 11-6.

Cons

Getting time off is a pain, you have to request time off 4 weeks in advance, and YOU have to find coverage for the shift. If you have a small opening in between guests they will fill it up because they are all about making money. You easily start to feel like a work horse.

Pros

Free waxes, most clients are very enjoyable.

Cons

Inexperienced management, inaccurate sales goals algorithms, no scheduled breaks. Everyone is set at the same exact goal sales/service wise and they expect so much from you. They push you to sell when their "training" program is an absolute joke. You're treated as a number and a slave. Management speaks to you through an email basis only basically and the franchise owner is known to gossip, and assimilated a team of women who act like high school girls. Stayed here as long as I did because I loved my clients and wax specialist coworkers very much. Whole team was against management and there was NEVER any harmony between them. They do not care about you, they push you to make them more money and threaten your job all of the time if you are not doing what they want. FAVORITISM is a massive issue as well. Management takes things so personal, and will terminate employees for their personal agenda. Save yourself from the stress and degrading people of this franchise. You will leave that place feeling degraded, small, and full of anxiety and stress every day. I thank god every day that I got out of the depression this place put me into.
